Any measurements from Krsko yet? Should withstand 6.4, but nevertheless better measure a possible radiation leak. The continue to run at full power, so it's unlikely


they claimed it's safe which is ofc not to be trusted. the facility is supposed to reach EOL in 2024, and corrupt as they are they'll just going to winge it till then, natural disasters be dammed.


Well, if there was any hope of containing the virus it's gone now. Everyone is outside doing stuff. An improvised tent village for the displaced is being raised in the middle of the capital.


It'll make things harder but I'm not sure how much.

However, as far as I know there isn't such a great number of displaced. I don't have exact numbers but mostly only pre-WWII buildings were damaged, while most people live in skyscrapers outside the city center.


the town center has still a lot of old peoples living in flats alone. a lot of facilites such as the medical faculty have gotten damaged (cctv footage from the faculty https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTvtQExtuXA) many of the buildings are historic landmarks are destroyed.


My guess would be that the village will also later be reused for the virus outbreak. They said 66 buildings were damaged and they are building a 500 people village
