In fact, the Norwegian authorities have announced an increased risk of a nuclear disaster. It was stressed that this is not related to the nuclear war, but is directly related to hostilities in Ukraine, which could damage one of the nuclear power plants in the country.
This was reported The Times citing sources in the Norwegian Ministry of Defense.
What is it about
Authorities have asked their citizens to prepare bunkers built during the Cold War "in case of a nuclear alarm." The military has warned that if shelters are used as storage, they should be cleaned and prepared for their intended use.
The publication quoted Norwegian Defense Minister Oda Roger Enoxen as expressing his concern over the fighting in Ukraine in the immediate vicinity of nuclear facilities. Of course, including the massive rocket fire on the territory of Ukraine by the Russian Federation.
The nuclear catastrophe in Ukraine is discussed not only as real, but also quite possible. It could affect Western Europe if the winds blow in that direction.
ChNPP and Zaporizhzhya NPP
After the Chernobyl invasion, the Russian Armed Forces occupied the Zaporizhzhya NPP, establishing control over it. Shells were disposed of in the immediate vicinity of the reactors. In the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, soldiers dug in the territory of the radiation-contaminated Red Forest and placed a large amount of ammunition there. After receiving the radiation dose, the units entered the territory of Belarus.
