The increasing exhaustion of workers confined for “10 days” at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant is not only “difficult” but could pose “a danger to the world”, Yuriy Fomichev, the mayor of Slavutych, told CNN in a telephone interview this Saturday (3).
“People are tired; they are exhausted, both mentally and emotionally, and especially physically,” said Fomichev, adding that more than 100 people at the factory are shift workers, and they should have changed after 12 hours.
“A nuclear facility managed by the same shift of 100 people without interruption for 10 consecutive days means that its concentration levels are very low. The main thing we want to convey is that this is very dangerous,” said Fomichev.
Factory workers eat only one meal a day and have limited time to contact their families, Fomichev said.
Slavutych, a city in northern Ukraine, was purpose-built in 1986 to house personnel evacuated from the Chernobyl plant, site of the world’s worst nuclear disaster.
