International nuclear monitoring issues

The idea of ​​attacking the facilities that develop nuclear energy in mind may have the worst images of disasters such as Chernobyl and Fukushima. But experts say that even if the strikes hit decisive substances, the bombing of uranium enrichment sites is unlikely to result in a large -scale nuclear disaster. Despite the widespread fears of radiation, the International Atomic Energy Agency Preserve “There are no health consequences for people or the environment outside the targeted sites,” Grosso said in a previous update issued on Sunday.

The International Atomic Energy Agency says, the current current environmental risk of these sites is local. Uranium enrichment facilities contain toxic gases and chemicals, similar to what can be stored in any large industrial chemical station.

“It has not yet reached the point where it can reach the reaction of a chain as it can maintain a large -scale nuclear explosion,” says Wolshshas. (The International Atomic Energy Agency estimates that Iran has a stock of enriched uranium up to 60 percent – not yet Sufficiently high To make a nuclear weapon, according to the bulletin of the atomic scholars. The International Atomic Energy Agency informed in January that it had found a small amount of the most fertilized uranium in Fordo website.

“There is gasoline in your car,” he says. “You have a collision with your car or an accident, you may have a fire, and may even explode. There are some toxic substances that may be released. But it will be somewhat limited damage.”

He adds that there is an opportunity that the attacks on Isfahan have been affected by barrels carrying a hexagonal uranium, which is a radioactive chemical compound, which can spread throughout the region. But the damage caused by this explosion is likely to be limited to the range.

“It is just a large heavy gas molecule, so it will not go too far,” Emily Cavary, director of the Health Physics Program at the University of Alabama in Birmingham, He said ABC News.

There is one facility in Iran that can cause great damage if hit. The only commercial nuclear reactor is located in Iran near the city of Bushehr. The site contains thousands of kilograms of nuclear materials that are subject to a series of reactions to fuel production. (Research reactors are used, such as those in ISFAHAN, much lower fuel than commercial reactors and operate at much lower temperatures, making them less dangerous in case of accident.) comments It was delivered a day before the American strikes, Grosso said that the strike on the factory “may lead to a very high release of the environmental activity.” The Israeli government said last week that its strikes hit Bushehr, but the Israeli officials later These allegations.

“In my artistic evaluation, attacking the nuclear reactor is truly stupid, truly, truly,” says Wolfstal.

There is also a larger and more long -term environmental threat at hand: Iran will take the final steps after these attacks to build a nuclear weapon already.

“No person was lost that Israel and the United States have nuclear weapons and attacked Iran, and this does not do so,” says Wolfstal. “Russia has nuclear weapons and Ukraine, North Korea, which has nuclear weapons, is sitting beautiful. The message here is nuclear weapons that bring you security and immunity and enable you to take action against your opponents.

Gross notes on Monday echoed this concern.

“There is one certain thing, and this is the simple fact: we will not be safer if there is more nuclear weapons in more countries around the world,” he said.
