With another attack near the Bushehr nuclear reactor, it is important to understand the potential radiological impacts of an attack on the Bushehr nuclear reactor and consider the possible trajectory of the radioactive plume as it crosses the Persian Gulf. An idea of the trajectory and speed of a radioactive plume following a major accident at Bushehr is charted in graphic below. The radiation would reach the UAE within 24 hours. The chart is from an internal Bushehr emergency planning exercise, not an actual release, prepared by the Russians for Bushehr. It is not the only possible trajectory, and other exercises show different trajectories, although they usually head across the Persian Gulf. For background on the graphic and some idea of historical safety problems at Bushehr, see congress.gov/118/meeting/ho…
