With renewed concerns of fighting around #Ukraine's #Zaporizhzya nuclear power plant, here's a brief🧵on what the laws of war say [1/5] https://twitter.com/rafaelmgrossi/status/1557833473934737408

Rafael MarianoGrossi @rafaelmgrossi

I’ve told #UNSC today that the situation at #Zaporizhzya NPP was alarming. Military actions jeopardizing nuclear safety and security must stop immediately. An @iaeaorg mission would allow us to carry out needed technical activities and provide a stabilizing influence.

Great news for the US Veterans exposed to toxic burn pit emissions.

Thanks to @johnismay for letting us highlight that local civilians were also exposed to burn pit smoke, and likely for a longer duration - helping them seek justice should be next #Iraq #Afghanistan #Syria

The New York Times @nytimes

President Biden signed a bill on Wednesday expanding medical benefits for veterans exposed to toxic burn pits. What are they, and how did they harm U.S. troops? Here's what to know. https://nyti.ms/3vUbdrS

Energoatom also reporting that the 'domestic sewage pumping station' was damaged, plus more radiation sensors

Even if this ended with a click, the site is going to require significant environmental remediation in addition to the big safety inspection
