Switzerland shares Russia's concerns over nuclear threat emanating from Ukraine

30
Swiss President Didier Burkhalter shares Moscow’s concern about the existing “threat to world nuclear security in connection with the general situation in Ukraine and the intention of its leadership to conclude agreements with the United States on the supply of atomic fuel”. The president wrote about this in a reply to Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Industry, Vladimir Gutenev, the channel reported RT.



“Nuclear safety is a key issue in the Swiss nuclear policy”- writes Burkhalter. In this regard, he recalled the proposal to make "changes to the Convention on Nuclear Safety in order to avoid long-term contamination in the event of a nuclear accident."

“We would be pleased to welcome the strong support from the Russian Federation regarding the preparatory process, as well as the strengthening of the Convention on Nuclear Safety”- the Swiss leader emphasized.

At the same time, he believes that this “issue should also be discussed between the operator of nuclear facilities and the regulator, namely the national security authority of Ukraine.”

“When a country has concerns about nuclear safety from another country, it is necessary to turn to bilateral negotiations or, if this is not possible, to other relevant authorities, such as the IAEA”- the president notes.

The publication reminds that in June 2014, Mr. Gutenev, sent a letter to Burkhalter in which he warned of a potential threat to European countries "in the case of man-made disasters at Ukrainian nuclear power plants" because of the intention of the Kiev authorities to conclude a contract with the United States on fuel cell supplies.

      Europe still does not fully understand the danger posed by Ukraine with its nuclear power plant and the desire to use American nuclear fuel, which is not suitable for the equipment of nuclear power plants.

        And a plus to this is the idea of ​​setting up a nuclear waste repository on the territory of Chernobyl. Under the laws of the USA. the return of waste is prohibited (Russia took its waste, recycled and disposed of it) So they think, NUCLEAR DUMP IN THE CENTER OF EUROPE. HORROR!

          Oh yeah.
          The Swiss authorities announced the strengthening of sanctions against Russia. The corresponding message is posted on the website of the Federal Council of the country. The black list of individuals and organizations with which it is forbidden to establish new financial relations includes 11 names. Also, five Russian banks have limited access to the capital market. The text of the message does not indicate against whom specifically sanctions have been imposed.

          In addition, the import of military materials from Russia is prohibited and the export of oil equipment is limited, as well as restrictions on investment in the development of the Crimea and Sevastopol. As explained in the message, sanctions are introduced in order to exclude the possibility of circumventing EU sanctions using Switzerland. The measures will take effect on August 27 at 20:00 Moscow time.

    It is time for the EU to take seriously seriously what is happening in Ukraine:
    In Ukraine, Chernobyl plans to build a storage facility for spent nuclear fuel. Moreover, in the field of nuclear energy in recent years, Ukrainians prefer to cooperate with the United States, rather than with Russia.- Everyone knows what "cooperation" with amers entails. Another reckless gesture towards Moscow.

    “Threats to world nuclear safety in connection with the general situation in Ukraine and the intention of its leadership to conclude agreements with the United States on the supply of nuclear fuel”

    For Americans, European drum safety. The main thing here is money. But Europe should ponder on which side the threat may arise, and against whom sanctions are required, and whether it is worth supporting the one to whom European security in this case is on the drum

    From Chernobyl to Kiev 100 km. A warehouse for storage will be in the alienated zone of Chernobyl, that is, 70-80 km will remain to Kiev. And nuclear fuel is not suitable for Ukrainian nuclear power plants. That is, it is possible to operate, but it can sound. Each reactor is designed for the fuel of the person who designed it.

    Selling fuel cells for nuclear power plants is a very profitable business. For reactors built by Russian nuclear scientists, square-section fuel blocks with a certain technologically calculated degree of uranium enrichment are used. Western nuclear power plants use very different fuel cells. Technically different. America so quickly adjusted the release of suitable? I doubt it. But Ukraine is following the principle-I’ll burn the huts in spite of bugs.

    I can’t believe it, but "Europe's wallet" (it seems) has slightly come to its senses. The reaction, of course, started, but in terms of pace it risks losing to the Ukrainian one: the National Guard is still courting nuclear facilities.
    With the popular love of Ukrainians for music, organizing a national funeral to very loud "chords" (so that they will remember it for hundreds of years) will not take a lot of time for Banderopithecus (that is, the monkey does not rush with a simple grenade).
