Ukrainian PM Reports Accident at Nuclear Power Plant
by Wochit 0:49 mins

Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk said on Wednesday an accident had occurred at the Zaporizhye nuclear power plant in south-east Ukraine and called on the energy minister to hold a news conference. Yatseniuk said, "I know that an accident has occurred at the Zaporizhye NPP," asking new energy minister Volodymyr Demchyshyn to make clear when the problem would be resolved and what steps would be taken to restore normal power supply across Ukraine.
The reactor should be producing electricity again on Friday.
So what happened at one of the six 1 GW reactors on the site?

There seems to be a shift happening.

it looks like Donesk is going to get it's wish. Kiev is cutting it's ties. Imagine form here we will start to see a wall going up and a embargo from the west to the east. the soon to be Peoples Republic of New Russia will only have Russia as a way in and way out.

It is also rather unfortunate for Ukraine, given that the East used to be its industrial heartland, and its industries aren't doing too bad at all. Future looks bleak.

The news bulletin of my favorite radio station just said that remains of another three victims of the destruction of MH17 have been identified. Remains of six victims have not yet been found.

Looks like not everyone is so fooled by lies.


Angry families of MH17 crash victims seek U.N. investigation

* Dutch PM asked to appoint U.N. envoy to lead inquiry

* Families believe Dutch authorities failing to build case

* UN inquiry seen as last resort to save "botched" probe

* Victims from Germany, United States, Belgium, Netherlands

By Anthony Deutsch

AMSTERDAM, Dec 5 (Reuters) - Relatives of MH17 crash victims, angered by what they see as Dutch mishandling of inquiries into the disaster, want a special U.N. envoy to launch an international investigation.

A letter sent to Prime Minister Mark Rutte on Friday, a copy of which was seen by Reuters, said Dutch officials had failed to build a case. They asked that inquiries by the Safety Board and prosecution service be handed over to the United Nations.

Rutte should "request the U.N. to appoint a special envoy to take over," said the letter written by Van der Goen Attorneys.

Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 was downed on July 17 over eastern Ukraine, killing all 298 passengers and crew, two-thirds of them Dutch. Experts say the most likely cause was a ground-to-air missile fired from territory held by pro-Russian separatists.

The Dutch launched the largest criminal investigation in their history after the crash. This week, trucks are carrying pieces of the plane home, but much of the wreckage still lies in Ukrainian fields.

Dutch investigators, leading a case involving 11 countries, have not concluded how the plane was shot down or identified suspects.

The Netherlands "has completely botched" the fact-finding investigation and the legal framework of the case, said the letter, sent on behalf of 20 relatives from Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands and the United States.

Dutch prosecutors have been unable to access the crash site, in a war zone disputed by Ukrainian troops and Russian-backed rebels, or not met international requirements to secure evidence, the letter said.

"Nobody knows who is doing what," said Bob van der Goen, a spokesman for the law firm. "There is no coordination, there is no leadership whatsoever (by) Holland."

Rutte said on Friday the Dutch teams were returning to the Netherlands. "We have done everything we could. In view of the safety situation and the weather, we cannot do anything more right now," he said.

An international inquiry is the only way to identify who shot down the plane and ensure they are brought to court, the letter said.

Van der Goen has represented relatives of victims of a 1992 El Al jetliner crash in Amsterdam, a 2010 Afriqiyah Airways crash in the Libyan capital Tripoli and the 1977 Pan Am-KLM crash in the Canary Islands that left 583 people dead.

Relatives of the Pan Am-KLM crash victims received more than $100,000 each, the highest ever settlement at the time. (Reporting By Anthony Deutsch; Editing by Tom Heneghan)
