- The fires, which were declared on 4 April, uncontrolled by fire fighters, have devastated more than 20,000 hectares. Radioactivity is increasing, the rate of radioactivity is sixteen times higher than normal. According to Greenpeace, the fires have occurred 1.5 kilometres from the Fukushima nuclear power plant.
In recent weeks, no news can be found other than coronavirus. However, they exist and are identical to pollutants. Let us say what is happening near the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. “There is bad news: radioactivity is higher than the normal measure at the base of the fire,” said Ego Firsov, head of the ecological inspection service during the weekend. The radioactivity rate is 16 times higher than normal, sustainable? The fires began on 4 April, destroying thousands of hectares of forest every day: The fires have ravaged over 20,000 hectares.
Some 400 firefighters are trying to control the Chernobyl fire, which suffered a nuclear accident in 1986. The fires are approaching the plant, increasing the risk and radioactivity associated with the fire of the plant. According to Greenpeace on 13 April last, the fires have taken place 1.5 kilometres from the plant.
The Government is trying to hide pollution
However, the Government of Ukraine has not made the scale of the fires known for a few days. He is trying to save the risk because, according to what he says, there is no radioactive risk. "The Chernobyl nuclear power plant is not in danger, radioactive waste storage areas and other infrastructures are not under threat," said the Ukrainian service manager, Volodymyr Demtchouk. However, the rates of radioactivity are not the same, and as the fires approach the plant, the level of de-escalation increases.
