Authorities in Ukraine on Thursday August 30, 2022 held radiation emergency drills in Dinipro, as tensions are high around the Russian-controlled Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. Footage released by Ukraine's State Emergency Service showed rescuers conducting exercises, people in protective suits washing cars, and checking people for possible contamination. The emergency service said in the statement that the rescuers worked out the algorithm to notify the civilian population, conducted training to use special equipment including radiation control devices, and practiced the decontamination of evacuees, personnel, equipment and vehicles. The Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, Europe's largest, has been under control by the Russian forces since March 4.
