The ex-Minister of transport of Ukraine and former head of Department of the Ministry of emergency situations Evgeny Chervonenko said that as a result of blasting by the participants of the blockade of Crimea two elastopor on the border with the Peninsula in 2015, Ukraine was a step away from nuclear disaster. He said this live on NewsOne.
According to him, one of the Directors for the plant told him that Ukraine was on the edge of the second Chernobyl. “If not for the skill of the person who was on duty, and which in time took out the Fuel rods, these rods are radioactive, there would be a second Chernobyl,” said Chervonenko.
He explained that the Ukrainian power grid at the time had a terrible overload. “If the South Ukrainian nuclear power plant disaster, Ukraine’s independence, and all of us would have already forgotten forever,” – said Chervonenko.
