@BulletinAtomic ——> fog of war:

The IAEA has been informed of a serious incident that occurred during today’s de-mining phase of the agreed localized ceasefire near the Zaporizhzhya NPP, in which some Russian military personnel were injured. While the incident is currently being investigated, the Ukrainian side has informed the IAEA that it remains committed to the IAEA-brokered ceasefire that it and Russia agreed to after weeks of complex negotiations. IAEA DG @rafaelmgrossi calls for maximum military restraint and full adherence to the ceasefire so that the power line repairs can proceed as planned in coming days, adding that they are crucial for efforts to prevent a nuclear accident at the ZNPP. The urgency and necessity of repairing the ZNPP’s main 750 kilovolt (kV) power line was underscored by another loss of off-site power event at the plant today, the 18th since the war started. The ZNPP once again had to rely on emergency diesel generators after its sole remaining power line - the 330 kV Ferosplavna - was disconnected due to reported attacks on two electrical substations located on the other side of the Dnipro River. With the 750 kV line disconnected for more than two months, the ZNPP has been relying on the 330 kV line, making it extremely vulnerable to conflict-related grid disruptions. The 330 kV line has been disconnected repeatedly in recent weeks, including today. The restoration of the 750 kV Dniprovska line would be an important positive step for nuclear safety, which is in everybody’s vital interest, DG Grossi says.

The key to ending the #Ebola outbreak in the #DRC area: Government leadership; Community ownership; Strong partnership between the many actors involved, working with one budget, one plan and one report; And building trust in the affected communities.

The current Ebola outbreak is rising faster than any other in history, according to this 21-day comparison released today by Africa CDC. Faster than even the 2014 outbreak in West Africa, which killed more than 11,000 people.

What happens when you stop looking at thousands of immune cells - and start looking at 15.6 million immune cells? You start seeing immune cell states we were mostly missing before🧵

We told you so.

🧬 What if we could read how fast we’re ageing? a molecular “clock” that tracks ageing across humans and other mammals using gene activity—and can even hint at lifespan and health.?? The biology of ageing is more universal than we thought. 🔬 nature.com/articles/s4158…

Long COVID likely has many causes. Derek Lowe highlights evidence for overlapping mechanisms, including viral persistence, immune dysfunction, clotting, vascular injury, and autonomic changes. Different pathways may lead to similar symptoms. science.org/content/blog-p…

There is still quite a wide range in specific outcomes among model ensembles--including for the near-term low pressure systems and mid-term ridge. That's because the Pacific jet stream remains unusually active for June, with a notable extension from the West to East Pacific.
