Scientists who studied the 53-year-old nuclear reactor last year said that, for now, the defects don’t pose any immediate danger. The findings were released during a scientific forum held in Tel Aviv this month, Haaretz reported Tuesday, the 30th anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster.
The most pressing issue discussed in the forum was safety concerns pertaining to the stability of the core, although scientists declared that there was no immediate threat and that the high levels of scrutiny were mainly due to a “strict supervisory attitude.”
Other topics discussed at the forum were employee safety, protection of the core against missiles, and reinforcement of the facility against earthquakes.
