Fire extinguished at Ukraine nuclear power plant, Europe's largest

Yeah, and here's the current meteorological data:

Air temperature 0 ℃ Wind N Wind speed 0 m/s Relative humidity 0 % Atmospheric pressure 0 mm Hg

... I hope that low pressure isn't from a vacuum bomb.

with the HN meme of AWS status pages reporting everything fine while AWS is down, here we have good evidence we cannot rely on this website reporting reliable data.

Here is the European Commission Radiation Map: https://remap.jrc.ec.europa.eu/

And here a volunteer map from Geiger counter manufacturer GQ Electronics: https://www.gmcmap.com/

The monitoring system has been shot down on 1 Sep.

Here is the statement from the Nuclear Agency in Ukraine:

  On March 1, 2022 at 11:40 as a result of rocket impact, the communication network of Zaporizhzhya NPP was damaged. As a result, the Automated Radiation Monitoring   System (ARMS) of the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant lost its full functionality and stopped the transmission of data to the international radiation monitoring network IRMIS. IAEA has been informed about the incident.

1 September ? It doesn't seem likely it was shot 6 months ago. You mean 1st March ?

That's what the quote says, too.

I wrote a cron job that scraped the npp.zp.ua data every 15 mins for the past day. It is changing and doesn't seem offline. You think it's updating the date/time correctly and just cycling over old data?

I think any monitoring system close enough to see 0 mm Hg pressure will have been destroyed by the shockwave before it could report that complete vacuum.

> low pressure isn't from a vacuum bomb

Do you know if these really show a significantly different pressure effect from conventional bombs?

I saw a chart showing a fatter tail on the shockwave, but it wasn't really that dramatic. I'm curious because I can imagine all kinds of vacuum effects in my mind's eye, but this is also informed by a _lot_ of the now-doubtful PR-style efforts on selling these things in years past.

Any vacuum would only exist for a few seconds as there’s nothing to contain it.
