Radiation from the fire in the Chernobyl nuclear power plant zone carried to Belarus
The “Red Forest” (radioactive) near the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant was heavily damaged by a fire in the exclusion zone, but the wind carried the smoke towards Belarus.
Yaroslav Emelianenko, a member of the public council under the State Agency for Exclusion Zone Management, announced this broadcast on the KPT TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Unfortunately, a fire has already broken through the Red Forest. But the wind was no longer blowing towards Kyiv. It blew into the territory of the Belarusian Chernobyl zone. Nobody lives there.
Therefore, there is no point in worrying. I want to say that even if the entire “Red Forest” burns and the wind blows directly towards Kyiv, there will be no serious increase in level,” the expert assured.
