When the mayor of Lyon Grégory Doucet relays fake news about Chernobyl
The environmentalist mayor of Lyon therefore relayed a little hastily information announcing that according to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the level of radioactivity on the Chernobyl nuclear site was “unnatural”.
“On April 26, 1986, a major nuclear accident occurred in #Chernobyl, contaminating much of Europe. A very sad anniversary marked by a reappearance of danger in the same place. According to the IAEA, the Russian offensive in Ukraine, compromised the safety of the installations. This is a reminder that the choice of nuclear power is not insignificant. The massive investments wanted by the President to build new reactors must be debated democratically. Such decisions cannot be taken at free discretion. of a few”wrote Grégory Doucet on Twitter.
Except that the information was quickly denied. Rafael Grossi, head of the IAEA, had in fact declared that the level of Ukrainian radioactivity at the site occupied by the Russian army for almost a month was “in normal”.
Despite the comments reported to the Lyon city councilor his relay of fake news, the tweet has not yet been deleted.
