My cows are very sociable and compliant, mostly. They go out to graze at night, come home to sit in the shade and drink water and nurse their calves while it's just stupid to stand out in the hot sun doing stuff like that. I don't know who all talks to them and passes this information to them, but I've learned to distinguish the subtleties of cow speech, I imagine.
Beyond that, I know that Western and/or NATO propaganda press has been saying that Russia is using the plant for military purposes, and their source is the notably objective and disspassionate Pres. Zelensky.
My source, on a highter level of information than the jplain bellowing of Zelensky and manty cows, is a former, disaffected CIA man, who has jproperly set the question and supplied a few bits of information that do not, in his opinion, amount to proof. But it's a question worth pay9ing attention to.
One of my former jobs in research was to investigate reports on radiation effects and health. The BEIR report was practically my pillow. I don't think osmosis is a reliable educational method, but I did read it, in snatches, before b3eing so damned bored I couldn't go on.
For your information, which I doubt you'd get from any official course of education or scholarly published drivel, the basic decision was made to amplifiy and exaggerate every possible adverse effect so as to err on the side of caution. There is a guy, a pastor, with a political talk show on the air in rural Utah, who believes that the Fukushima plant released a plume of radiation that has circled the Pacific and landed onshore on our Western America shores, and that that plume is now marching across land with untold death and disease.
According to my actual understanding, there is a background level of radiation of various types including extraterrestrial that amounts to an annual exposure of about 100 mrem/yr. Some quacks offer Iodine formulations to protect against nuclear radiation from nuclides like Strontium 90, which are taken up in the food chain with some efficiency, but the fact is that we humans, if healthy, have an onboard system for dealing with radiation problems, which goes to sleep if we don't get enough.
Accordingly, p0eople who live in low elevation and low radiation areas have a statistically significant higher rate of cancer.
I'm sure that nuclear reactor meltdowns are a sort of urban legend that can be averted with ordinary shelling of the concrete crib. A tactical nuke of the artillery shell size might be about 10Kt, but enough to create a significantly different heat footprint, besides some satellite or radar tracking on incoming shells.
The Russians know all this, and I believe they would just shut the plant down if the shelling goes forward. Take the nuclear materials out and store them safely with proper criticality information. Keeping it open and suppling energy to Zelensky's territories is part of Putin's notion of making this something of a managed operation with limited goals. I believe if NATO supplies this kind of artillery shell, and Zelensky makes use of it per the rumor, Russia would be sharing that evidence with India, China and other interested nations. He would track the radioactive plume and make a helluva fuss in his media. It would really make Biden look bad and it would cost the US pretty significantly outside of the NATO set.
I realize that the former CIA prattler is not a nuclear or health ex pert for sure,, and he is a bit pro-Russian in the sense that he is just fed up with our leadership and knows it's deliberate provoaction on rthe part of the US and allies to keeping pushing NaTo up Putin's ***.
I might be the only human on planet earth who believes I know anything too. But what the hell.
