Next stop would be a temporary center where people would be washed to wipe away surface radiation and then transported to evacuation points. Should something happen at the plant, the people would be brought from radiation-contaminated areas to a location where they would be given medical and psychological assistance, the emergency services said. Last week, members of President Volodymyr Zelensky’s government briefed international representatives on the possible threat. Ukraine’s military intelligence recently claimed, without providing evidence, that Russia is planning a “large-scale provocation” at the nuclear power plant in the southeast of the country. Over the past year, it has become a focal point of concern as Russia and Ukraine accuse each other of shelling the plant. Russia occupied the plant in the early stages of the war. In a tent set up to provide first aid, emergency workers practiced hosing people down with soap and going through the motions of administering treatment to individuals who play-acted victims from possible radiation-affected areas. Ukrainian emergency workers took part in a drill this week to prepare for a potential risk of radiation leakage from the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.ĭozens of civilians joined the drill on the outskirts of the city of Zaporizhzhia, located around 100 kilometers (62 miles) from Europe’s largest nuclear plant.
