On the war front of nuclear disaster, the IAEA refused to consider legitimate methods to prevent a potential explosive nuclear disaster, and the IAEA risked lives, homes, businesses, lands, and waterways to potential Ukraine radioactive explosions.
At the Ukraine, Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plants, lives were at stake, and the possibility of a radioactive dust cloud spreading across Europe and Russia was at hand. By default, the IAEA (The International Atomic Energy Agency), who represents the United Nations, then decisively chose to permit loss of life, permit the radioactive contamination of many countries, and permit the possible evacuation of hundreds of thousands of people.

A Lack of IAEA Action Could Have Been Disastrous
President Roosevelt once referred to decision by indecision when he decided to proceed with D-Day in World War II - the President decided to proceed with the invasion of Europe to fight by accepting the risk of an assault by sea in bad weather. The IAEA is responsible for a near-disaster through inaction, i.e., the IAEA acted through decision by indecision. Steps to stop a nuclear disaster were available, and the IAEA failed to act to implement those steps ("Will We Let a Ukraine Nuclear Power Plant Explode?", click here).
If cooling had been lost to a Zaporizhzhia nuclear reactor, the reactor operators would not have known the steps needed to stop power-plant explosions, which could have blown radioactive clouds across Europe and Russia. Those operators would not have even known the series of explosions that would ignite in their plant, since nuclear regulators conceal such information from the public and the nuclear industry.
We still do not know how bad the nuclear disaster could have been, since all Zaporizhzhia reactors are now in shutdown mode to prevent such a disaster. However, the world shook when a major nuclear authority, the IAEA, finally acknowledged that a nuclear disaster was before us. Members of the IAEA also visited Zaporizhzhia power-plants, while military dangers were present.
The IAEA Delayed Response to a Potential Nuclear Disaster
The IAEA appropriately moved to alert the world to the explosion dangers, even though they acted months after my first warning of the military dangers to nuclear plants ("Potential Explosions at Ukraine Nuclear Reactors Can Be Stopped", click here). However, the IAEA chose to accept the risks of radioactive explosions by refusing to implement recommendations that I provided to stop such explosions.
IAEA Irresponsibility to Ensure Safe Nuclear Reactor Operations in Ukraine
The details of this accusation are summarized in a series of Op Ed News articles. The most recent article provides the basis for this accusation, and also provides more detailed directions to nuclear-reactor operators to provide the steps to stop a nuclear power-plant explosion ("You Can Stop an Explosive Nuclear Disaster: A Message to Nuclear Power Reactor Operators", click here).
The continuing resistance of the IAEA and other nuclear authorities to technology concludes that actions may never be taken, or may take a very long time, to stop the next nuclear power-plant explosions. Nuclear power-plant reactor operators may be the only last defense to save lives, the next time that we are faced with a nuclear plant explosion disaster.
Of significance, the IAEA refused to answer years of emails, which provided essential safety information. Such information was essential to the prevention of potential radioactive explosion ignitions, during Ukraine military actions against the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plants.
Nuclear Industry Irresponsibility for Nuclear Plant Explosion Prevention
Over the past 11 years, I have sent nearly every publication that I have written to the IAEA, the NRC, the DOE, and the NEA. More recently, copies of Op Eds were sent to the United Nations.
All of these organizations refuse to acknowledge the 43-year cover-up of explosion dangers to nuclear reactors (Figure 1). Nuclear authorities even refuse to consider preventive actions to stop nuclear power-plant explosions.
In short, these recent Op Eds elucidated the dangers of nuclear power accidents, but the technology to prevent such explosions has been published over the past 11 years. Those who are in positions to stop radioactive explosions ignore all technology to stop nuclear plant explosions.
The NRC Lies That Backgrounded IAEA Radioactive Explosion Risks in Europe and Russia
The U.S. government lied to us, and everyone else falls in line behind their lies ("Deceit is the Core of Nuclear Power Explosion Safety", click here). Together, nuclear regulators unnecessarily risk our lives to radioactive explosion disasters.
To perpetuate this cover-up, the IAEA was even willing to risk nuclear power-plant explosions in Ukraine. We can stop nuclear power plant explosions!
Addendum: Let Them Die - A Government Approach to Explosions
The loss of life during nuclear plant explosion disasters is not very high, and such a loss of life is acceptable to nuclear industry regulators. Cancer deaths and deaths of the elderly were coupled with Fukushima explosions and there is still disagreement about cancer deaths. More than 10,000 people drowned during the tsunami that shut down the Fukushima power plants to ignite explosions. There were no deaths at Three Mile Island. In Ukraine, many deaths would not be expected if a nuclear disaster exploded, where more than 9,000 deaths have been reported due to military actions.
Throughout our society, there are many more widespread causes of accidental deaths, i.e., auto accidents, natural disasters, etc. These deaths are not acceptable, but they are accepted. Through inaction, nuclear power plant disaster deaths are accepted.
However, mass evacuations and the dread risk, or fear, of a nuclear disaster are not accepted by many people. These risks are important to us, and yet the UN, the DOE, the NEA, the IAEA, and the NRC refused to act on explosion safety information during the Ukraine Nuclear Scare, and these authorities did not even answer the following email.
"This week, I made serious accusations against the IAEA and NRC concerning potential Ukraine nuclear power plant explosions ("The Ukraine Nuclear Scare - The IAEA Endangered Europe and Russia", Click Here; and "You Can Stop an Explosive Nuclear Disaster: A Message to Nuclear Power Reactor Operators", Click Here). These two articles culminate a series of articles on nuclear power plant explosion safety. Basically, a 43-year NRC cover-up precipitated IAEA inaction, which in turn endangered lives, property, and the environment. Comments are welcome".
Government regulators have clearly decided that preventable nuclear disasters are acceptable. When the next nuclear disaster explodes into our lives, there may be significant legal liabilities for the corporations who operate the next exploding nuclear plant, where this research clearly proves explosion risks. Again, we can stop this next nuclear plant explosion!
A Second Addendum: Here we are - days after a final Zaporizhzhia plant shutdown went into action - and the cover-up of explosion prevention has yet to hit the mainstream press. Multiple news sources reported today that a main power line has been provided to Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plants to ensure that a cooling loss will not lead to radioactive explosions, as the risks of explosions dissipated when power was restored. At least the press now acknowledges that a potential radioactive disaster was present, and writers like me who spearheaded nuclear disaster awareness are no longer referred to as alarmists.
More importantly, the press, the NRC, and the IAEA have yet to acknowledge that any radioactive explosions could have been prevented. In spite of multiple articles that I have written to provide public awareness, and a radio show to nearly 1-1/2 million people (click here), most of us are still in the dark about the fact that a potential near-nuclear-disaster could have been prevented if war had gone far enough to cause that disaster. The press, the IAEA, and the NRC would have let nuclear power plants unnecessarily explode to spew radioactivity across Europe and Russia.
There is something grossly wrong with such decisions. These agencies refuse to even talk about the nuclear plant explosion lies. Yes, the NRC has lied to us for more than 40 years. Yes, the IAEA and others march in lock-step with those lies. Yes, we should have considered preventing a potential near-disaster at Zaporizhzhia. Yes, we must stop the next nuclear power plant explosions!
