Leningrad NPP is a cloud generator. Every day, 50,000 tons of water steam (one of the greenhouse gases) and fine droplets of brackish waters of the Gulf of Finland Baltic Sea are emitted into the atmosphere. This year, emissions will reach 100,000 tons / day after the launch of the second VVER-1200 power unit. Ejected droplets may contain water pollutants as well as blue-green algae toxins. Radioactive releases through cooling towers are also possible if old RBMK-1000 LNPP reactors accidentally drop radionuclides into the Gulf of Finland into the water intake area of cooling towers of new VVER-1200 reactors.
An interesting socio-ecological experiment puts Rosatom …We are waiting for the results ….
