The poster and text were created on March 9, 2022, during the occupation of the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant and in the midst of general confusion:
“The only electrical grid supplying the Chornobyl NPP and all its nuclear facilities occupied by the Russian army is damaged. CNPP lost all electric supplies.
Approximately 20,000 spent fuel assemblies are stored at the spent nuclear fuel storage facility. They need constant cooling, which is possible only in the presence of electricity. If it's not there, the pumps will not cool down. As a result, the temperature in the holding pools will increase, soaring and releasing radioactive substances into the environment will occur. Wind can transfer a radioactive cloud to other regions of Ukraine, Belarus, Russia, and Europe.”
