Power plant shelling 'round of Russian roulette'
Shelling of the Zaporizhzhia thermal energy station has been compared to a round of "Russian roulette" by a previous authority from the UN's atomic guard dog.
Notwithstanding that selection of words, Olli Heinonen alerts that it's "difficult to say" whether Russian or Ukrainian soldiers have been liable for hazardous action at the office.
However, addressing BBC Radio 4's Today program, that's what he cautions "one single shell in an unlucky spot will have expansive outcomes".
The previous representative chief general of the Global Nuclear Energy Organization (IAEA) explains that a solitary shell is probably not going to make harm the actual reactor, which will be encased in meters of concrete and metal.
According to the gamble, he, is that shelling upsets the inventory of power to the cooling framework - meaning either the reactor or the spent fuel would get excessively hot, making the fuel soften and an arrival of radioactivity.
Combined with that is the way that staff "may commit errors" because of the strain they are under - assuming they are even ready to work by any stretch of the imagination.
Heinonen adds: "This is a hazardous game and it ought to be halted."
