Ukraine update from Giorgio Provincialli:
Russia commits act of nuclear terror with latest attack on Chornobyl.
Beyond the real danger of a dirty nuke attack, the psychological weight of Chornobyl weighs heavily upon the rest of the world.

Experts worldwide have long considered "dirty bombs" inevitable because they are cheap to make and transport.

Dirty-bomb antidote: Drug trial begins in #UnitedStates
The first human trial of a new type of dirty-bomb-antidote pill, designed to remove harmful radioactive contamination from the body, is starting in the US.
The drug, HOPO 14-1, is thought to work against several materials that might be used in weapons, including uranium.
If it proves safe and effective it could guard against potential harm from #nuclear accidents or terrorist attacks.

Starting tonight in Hiroshima!
I'll be presenting a lecture this Friday in downtown Hiroshima titled: “Radioactive Fallout and Dirty Bombs”
Open to the public, join us!
Here is the abstract:
"Recent events in the Russian war on Ukraine have raised global anxieties over the possible use of 'dirty bombs.' What exactly are dirty bombs? This lecture will explore the nature of dirty bombs, how they are different than regular bombs and nuclear bombs, and what kinds of hazards they present. It will start with a discussion of radioactive fallout clouds and particles, to help us to understand why dirty bombs present radiological risks."

Government of Slovenia just published a statement after it recognized its own photos in Russia's presentation about "Ukraine's dirty bomb":
> Photo, used by the Russian Foreign Ministry in its Twitter post is an ARAO photo from 2010. It was used for professional presentations for the general and interested public as an explanatory material. The photo shows smoke detectors that are subject to general use. They contain a radioactive source, but not any of radioactive sources listed in the table below the photo. The photo was published without the knowledge of ARAO.
The fun part is that #Russia never even attributed this photo to Slovenia, they apparently just picked up a random photo of "a bag of things with radioactivity symbol". You could argue they used it for illustrative purposes but the presentation attempts to position itself as a description of a very specific case — alleged plans to build #nuclear dirty bomb by #Ukraine, yet it's entirely based on stock photos and not even a circumstantial evidence.
If you ask me, the whole "dirty bomb" story is bullshit, intended to spam the public dispute about the war and nothing else. The assumption is that "if it's government speaking there must be a grain of truth in what they say" but the problem is that Russia has been inventing 100% lies from the very beginning of this war. Their warnings about "bioweapons prepared by Ukraine" have been voiced at least two times since February, and then ridiculed by microbiologists from their own universities as it came out that the bacteria names listed on documents published by Russia were not only widely found in the wild but they were actual research cultures purchased... in Russia. Of course, no bioweapons ever materialised in the war on any side, ever, and everyone just forgot that story, but it was feeding gratuitous media for a while.
With "dirty bomb", its military advantage is literally zero or even negative — it's nothing else than some radioactive substance thrown around by a conventional explosive. Its contamination impact is thus limited to the blast area — tens, maybe hundreds of metres. The "contamination diagrams" publishes by Russia where a ominous cloud covers half of Europe are based on a manipulation — today's nuclear monitoring detection network is so sensitive that it can detect even traces of an isotope at concentration thousands of times below levels that have any biological impact (in the same way, sea water naturally contains uranium at 3 mg/m³ but it has zero effect on living creatures at this concentration).
So while yes, we were able to detect outburst of radioactive isotopes from an explosion of nuclear rocket prototypes in Russian base in Arkhangelsk (2019) and Russian shelling of Chernobyl area (March 2022), and we saw them hundreds of kilometres away, it was because our monitoring network is so sensitive, not because they had any biological impact. Actually, calculations of the dose absorbed by the poor idiots from Russian army who dug trenches in Chernobyl's Red Forest indicate that even they might have not taken a dose that would have any immediately visible health effects.
All of this indicates the whole story is a bullshit and we won't see any radioactive weapons neither from Ukraine (obviously) nor Russia, just like we haven't seen any biological weapons in spite of repeated "warnings".

Ich frag mich noch immer, warum #Russland so lange den #FakeNews-Markt dominierte.
