Por incendio, crece radioactividad en central de Chernóbil

Ukraine Chernobyl Photographers Story — This photo taken Wednesday, March 23, 2016 shows abandoned apartment buildings in the town of Pripyat near Chernobyl, Ukraine, with a chimney, left, at the destroyed reactor and a gigantic arch-shape confinement to cover the remnants of the exploded reactor, in the back, at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. Thirty years after the worlds worst nuclear accident, the Chernobyl nuclear power plant is surrounded by both a hushed desolation and clangorous activity, the sense of a ruined past and a difficult future. The Chernobyl nuclear power plant explosion was only about 60 miles from photographer Efrem Lukatsky’s home, but he didnt learn about it until the next morning from a neighbor. Only a few photographers were allowed to cover the destroyed reactor and desperate cleanup efforts, and all of them paid for it with their health. I went a few months later, and have returned dozens of times. (AP Photo/Efrem Lukatsky)

El titular del Servicio de Inspección Ecológica de Ucrania, Egor Firsov señaló que se registró una radioactividad superior a la normal en la central de Chernóbil debido a un incendio forestal que se produjo en dicha zona de exclusión.

De acuerdo con el funcionario ucraniano, el contador de Geiger registró una radioactividad 16 veces más alta e la normal.

Y es que de acuerdo con medios locales, el fuego se extendió por más de 100 hectáreas en el descampado que rodea la central nuclear.

En tanto, los servicios de emergencia negaron que los niveles de radioactividad en toda la zona; señalaron que hubo problemas para extinguir el fuego porque sí hubo un incremento en algunas regiones.

Así, para apagar el fuego tuvieron que recurrir a dos aviones y un helicóptero, quienes se movilizaron para apagar el incendio.

Cabe recordar que la actividad dentro de la central fue detenido en el 2000, es decir, 14 años después del desastre nuclear, razón por la que miles de personas fueron evacuadas en más de 2 mil kilómetros a la redonda. CJG
