if you think you are useless, then just remember that there are organizations such as the IAEA and the UN

[abegilbert]

The job of the IAEA is to make nuclear power sound like a safe thing, so when they say publicly that this is serious it's probably a very bad situation.

[Susietravels]

Rafael has been warning officials about this happening for months

[MegaFozza]

This just shows why it is so important to kick Russia out of Ukraine. We can't live in a world where they can just cause an event that threatens us with a nuclear incident

[brentmarshall]

RULE 1) Never believe anything Russia say's. RULE 2) Never forget rule 1.

[teannettemajor]

Russia didn't need to send a missile to have nuclear war, they just had to do this

[braydopaintrain]

I wasn't aware that the plant was right at the front line essentially. Holy shit that's a stressful commute to work.

[DardaniaLion]

This war is really showing how helpless the world is when a monster is risen and is causing terror. Really sad.

Maybe the best solution would be is to shut down the plant. This means inserting the neutralizers and thus neutralizing the fuel core. There will be a huge loss of electric power for the region, but is a better solution than risking a disaster.

Isa Soares is my favorite CNN International Anchor! 😍🥰❤

When Crimea runs out of water Putin runs out of time.

[mothusigalelemogwe]

The nuclear plant is at risk of being blown up.

[Wesley-pkde]

"We guarantee a month, but could be more, and also could be less" 😂

[tarikshell]

This is getting out of hand Putin you have lost time to go to the peace table and give back what you stole

[duncanstewart]

Using pumper type firetrucks or tankers water can be brought from the Dnipro river. Right there. The new flow is estimated to take 2 weeks to emerge. Being located upriver the ZNPP is in good shape.

[myberney]

he said that the water will last about a MONTH more or less.

[michaelpierson]

The river isnt going away just smaller & farther away. Use hoses & pumps down by the water & pump it to the plant😊

[journeymansmitty]

Well if they'd go that far and do something crazy to the power plant it will vaporize all those people🤔

[charleslloyd]

I hope the Russians don’t blow up the power plant while you’re there.

[joeyahoo]

there must be a below ground aquifer?...gotta be some source of water? temporary pipeline?
