The Minister of Health sends a warning of national importance that targets millions of Romanians from all over the country, and this is because he is talking to all people about the fact that there is currently a possibility that a nuclear accident will occur at the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant.
The Minister of Health says that there was no discussion in the Romanian Government about the probability of a nuclear accident occurring in Zaporozhye, but that there is a probability that this will happen as long as Russia controls the nuclear power plant and uses it as a shield in the war in Ukraine. so Romanians should think about taking their iodine pills from pharmacies.
"In the Government, we never discussed a probability, but only about this possibility that sometimes, if you want, is brought into the spotlight by the incidents on the ground. You know very well that there were days when there were reports about the bombings, the battles, which happened in the immediate vicinity of the plant.
It is also used as a kind of shield, as far as I understand, by the Russian forces, and obviously it is about such a large objective, because the plant in Zaporizhia, as far as I understand, is the largest in Europe, and more keeping it under control, assuming a permanent supply of electricity.
The destruction of the electrical power supply stations of the power plant certainly represents a danger, not necessarily a direct hit, but a situation that can lead to radioactive losses which, of course, I do not think so and I hope that such a thing will never happen, but which must be taken into account anyway, but we did not have a discussion about the probability of this happening.
No, I didn't have (n. ed. I asked if there is secret information regarding a nuclear accident in Zaporozhye), and if... you will understand that if it is "sensitive" information, I cannot give you details. Anyway, I cannot give you additional details precisely if there is a confidential nature of this information.
The percentage that can lead to that unfortunate event is consistent, we are discussing a possible matter, but I do not think it is too late for each of those who present themselves to the family doctor for other types of ailments to request, together with the usual prescription, a prescription for iodide of potassium for them, and for the members of their families who are in a position to be eligible to receive it now."
