US strikes on Iran nuclear facilities won’t spark Chernobyl: experts
SHARE

The United States conducted airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities on Saturday night, causing significant damage. However, experts have reassured the public that the situation is not comparable to the Chernobyl disaster.

President Trump authorized strikes on three nuclear sites in Iran, targeting facilities where uranium had been enriched to near weapons-grade levels. The strikes involved bunker-buster bombs at the Fordow facility and Tomahawk missiles at Natanz and Isfahan.

Despite the severity of the attacks on these well-protected facilities, experts believe that there is minimal risk of widespread nuclear fallout similar to the catastrophic events of Chernobyl in 1986.

The nature of the materials involved in the Iranian nuclear facilities plays a crucial role in mitigating the risk of a Chernobyl-like disaster. Uranium, even in enriched forms, does not emit radiation that can travel long distances.

While there may be localized contamination near the strike sites, the overall risk of a region-wide radiological disaster is low. Experts emphasize that the strikes were targeted at enrichment facilities, not reactors, which are strategically located within Iran to prevent widespread fallout.

Professionals in radiation hazards and nuclear materials have emphasized that the uranium in the Iranian facilities, while potentially harmful if ingested or inhaled, is not likely to cause significant environmental contamination.

Overall, the airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities are not expected to result in a nuclear incident or a Chernobyl-level disaster. The decisive action taken by President Trump is seen as a strategic move to prevent further escalation of tensions in the region.
