Israeli attacks on Iran nuclear facilities are not threatened by Russia, Kazakhstan or Azerb …
According to the scientist, the object that the Israeli army hit today is a 40-50 meters enterprise to enrich Uranus, where centrifuges with a gaseous uranium hexaphator work. With the destruction of tanks or centrifuges, the substance probably remained underground. Uranus gaseous hexaftoride quickly cools down and goes into a solid state, after settling on the surface.
In an accident, a working reactor, indeed, radioactive substances can fly by hundreds of kilometers, as happened in Chernobyl. At other enterprises there is no such capacity as in nuclear reactors, and there are no so many dangerous substances. During depressurization, so much is not thrown out. The fundamental difference in the consequences of possible accidents on reactors, atomic power plants and at such enterprises of the nuclear fuel cycle.

The chemical toxicity of uranium hexafluoride is dangerous in contact with water, but in deserted Iran the risks are minimal. A significant ejection of radioactive substances or high -altitude cloud, as in an accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, is not expected.
