IAEA's Big WARNING Comes Amid Israel-Iran Conflict | Radiation Risk Rises After Nuclear Site Strike - video Dailymotion

Israel-Iran Conflict: IAEA Chief Mariano Grossi has issued a chilling warning as military tension between Iran and Israel escalates. Speaking at an urgent board session, he confirmed radiological and chemical contamination inside Iran’s Natanz site, while four buildings were damaged at the Isfahan nuclear complex. Though no external radioactive leakage has been detected so far, Grossi cautioned that rising conflict could trigger a dangerous radiological event. The IAEA remains in close contact with on-ground inspectors and is ready to mediate to prevent nuclear catastrophe.      #IranIsraelConflict #NuclearTension #IAEA #RadiationLeak #IranNuclear #IsraelStrikes #MarianoGrossi #Natanz #Isfahan #Fordow #Bushehr #NuclearCrisis #MiddleEastConflict #NuclearContamination #GlobalSecurity #UraniumFacility #RadiologicalThreat #UNNuclearWatch #TehranReactor #NuclearWarning  Also Read  IAEA Junks Rumours Of Radiation Leak From Any Nuclear Facility In Pakistan :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/iaea-junks-rumours-of-radiation-leak-from-any-nuclear-facility-in-pakistan-4153965.html?ref=DMDesc  UN Nuclear Watchdog Chief Rafael Grossi to Visit Moscow Over Ukraine's Nuclear Safety Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/un-nuclear-watchdog-chief-visit-moscow-ukraine-nuclear-safety-011-4062419.html?ref=DMDesc  Drone Attack Elevates Nuclear Accident Risk At Zaporizhzhia, Says IAEA Chief :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/drone-attack-zaporizhzhia-nuclear-plant-risks-011-3794213.html?ref=DMDesc    ~HT.410~GR.124~ED.194~

00:00It poses a significant danger if uranium is inhaled or ingested.

00:13Based on the information available to the IEA, the following is the current situation at Iran's

00:20nuclear sites. There has been no additional damage at the Natanz fuel enrichment plants

00:30site since the Friday attack, which destroyed the above ground part of the pilot fuel enrichment plant,

00:39one of the plants at which Iran was producing uranium and reached up to 60 percent U-235.

00:50Electricity infrastructure at the facility, which included an electrical substation,

00:58a main electric power supply building, an emergency power supply and backup generators,

01:05was also destroyed. There has been no indication of a physical attack on the underground

01:12cascade hole containing part of the pilot fuel enrichment plant and the main fuel enrichment plant.

01:21However, the loss of power to the cascade

01:25of radioactivity. The level of radioactivity outside the Natanz site has remained unchanged and at normal

01:42levels indicating no external radiological impact to the population or the environment from this event.

01:53But let me elaborate a little bit on this because we have received lots of questions.

01:58In the Natanz facility, there is both radiological and chemical contamination.

02:07Considering the type of nuclear material at this facility, it is possible that uranium isotopes

02:14contained in uranium hexafluoride, uranyl fluoride and hydrogen fluoride are dispersed inside the facility.

02:25The radiation, primarily consisting of alpha particles, poses a significant danger if uranium is inhaled

02:33or ingested. However, this risk can be effectively managed with appropriate protective measures,

02:41such as using respiratory protection devices, while inside the affected facilities.

02:48The main concern inside the facility is the chemical toxicity of the uranium hexafluoride

02:54and the fluoride compounds generated at the contact with water.

03:01No damage has been seen at the site of the Fordow fuel enrichment plant or at the Condab heavy water

03:10nuclear reactor which is under construction. Bush's nuclear nuclear power plant has not been targeted

03:16has not been targeted or affected by the recent attacks and neither has the Tehran research reactor.

03:25At the Isfahan nuclear site, four buildings were damaged in Friday's attack. The central chemical laboratory,

03:34a uranium conversion plant, a uranium conversion plant, the Tehran reactor fuel manufacturer plant,

03:42and the UF4 to EU metal processing facility which was also under construction. As in Natanz,

03:53off-site radiation levels remain unchanged.
