I wonder why they practice distributing iodine pills rather than just distribute them ahead of time?
The article reminds me of fraudulent material certificates at South Korean nuclear plants. As much as I advocate for nuclear power, I am fearful that more disasters will occur due to human error.
That power plant has a LOT of human error, from the news, it appears they made many mistake while building the power plant ( breaking stuff, pouring concrete in the wrong way, ... ) and they did try to hide it. And many incidents after turning the power plant on.
I also think that Nuclear plants are safe, but only when constructed and operated properly, and this doesn't seems the case.
Lithuania was operating an RBMK (Chernobyl-type) reactor just 140 km away from that new Generation III+ design and the majority of Lithuanians opposed the closure of the plant in Ignalina.
And that reactor vessel was never used, it’s actually still lying on the compound of Atommash in Volgodonsk.
Furthermore, transformers have been failing at NPPs in the West as well.
