The International Business Times reports that Russia is planning a 1938-Polish-radio type of attack on Belarus nuclear plants.<\/p>\n
One of the Russian army’s alleged targets is the Belarusian nuclear power plant “Ostrovets” in the Grodno region. Some infrastructure in Belarus’ Brest regions will also be targeted by the attack, according to a report<\/a> from the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense (GUR MOU).<\/p>\n
“It is known that in the near future a number of terrorist attacks are planned on the territory of Belarus — artificially provoked man-made disasters on critical infrastructure objects. The place of alleged ‘incidents’ is the territory bordering the borders of the EU countries and Ukraine, in particular, Grodno and Brest oblasts. One of the main targets is the Belarusian nuclear power plant ‘Ostrovets,'” the intelligence report said, translated via Google<\/a> Translate.<\/p>\n
In addition to the terrorist attack, the intelligence report suggested that Russia will blame the attacks on citizens of NATO countries and Ukraine, who will supposedly be donning Belarusian military uniforms in disguise.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sounds like Vlad is taking yet another page from Hitler’s playbook. Beside disrupting a good chunk of the EU\u00a0 and Ukrainian power grid,\u00a0 I am guessing\u00a0 these identifiable Ukrainians dressed in Belarus’ uniforms killed in the attack will be used to goad Belarus into joining on Russia’s side of the conflict. Although traditionally allied to Russia, Belarus has so far resisted doing so.<\/p>\n
Belarus is not the only place facing nuclear-related problems; France has been straining to put reactors back on line to assist with Europe’s winter power crisis – and isn’t getting there. 26 of their 56 reactors are down for repairs and maintenance, and the picture is getting no rosier.<\/p>\n
\nAn army of engineers has fanned out through nuclear power plants across France in recent months, inspecting reactors for signs of wear and tear. Hundreds of expert welders have been recruited to repair problems found in cooling circuits. Stress tests are being conducted to check for safety problems.<\/p>\n
As Europe braces for a winter without Russian gas,<\/a> France is moving fast to repair a series of problems plaguing its atomic fleet. A record 26 of its 56 reactors are off-line for maintenance or repairs after the worrisome discovery of cracks and corrosion in some pipes used to cool reactor cores.<\/p>\n
The state-backed nuclear power operator, \u00c9lectricit\u00e9 de France, or EDF, which runs France\u2019s nuclear power industry, said last week that it was working on an accelerated schedule to get all but 10 reactors running again by January, adding that there were no safety risks and that regulators were monitoring every step.<\/p>\n
The troubles facing EDF \u2014 a fresh outbreak of safety-related incidents, combined with unforeseen delays to the company\u2019s repair schedule \u2014 could not be hitting at a worse time.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
