Europe wants to decide what is irreparable and what is not

Europe is in full crusade with the old vehicle. In the main cities of Spain They can no longer circulate. The entry into force of the environmental badges leave out all gasoline cars before January 2001 and diesel prior to 2006: they cannot circulate through Low emissions areaswhich will be extended until the environmental objectives imposed by the EU will. There is a type of vehicle exempt from this age punishment: The classic vehicle. A culture also relevant in the world of motorcycle, and that according to the Federation of European motorcyclists associations It is at risk. Or maybe … not so much. Recycling objectives. The European Commission is in the process of reviewing its directive on vehicles at the end of its useful life (ELV). A legislation in which the objectives of recycling, reuse and elimination of materials in vehicles that reach the end of their life cycle are collected. The objective, on paper, is to foster the circular economy. This old woman Directive 2000/53/ECuntil now only applicable is close to being replaced by a new one planned by 2026 and with a vote in June 2025. If approved, it would cease to exclusively affect cars and light vans, to also affect motorcycles. The new regulations. The proposal on THE NEW REGULATION COM (2023) 451 On the new circularity requirements applicable to vehicles includes new categories, including motorcycles, to create regulations that harmonize recycling between virtually all types of vehicle. The text makes it clear that a deep review of how vehicle recycling and manufacturing processes is necessary, focusing on the focus on which this industry is one of the ones that consumes the most resources. The impact. If this new proposal was approved, the processes to reuse components, the requirements of homologation and the doubt (in certain scenarios) of whether or not or not a vehicle are a vehicle at the end of its useful life. “For the purposes of transferring the property of a used vehicle, the vehicle owner must be able to demonstrate to any natural or legal person interested in acquiring the property of the vehicle in question or the competent authorities that are not a vehicle at the end of its useful life. When assessing the situation of a used vehicle, the owner of the vehicle, other economic operators and the competent authorities will verify if the criteria established in the Annex I are fulfilled. A vehicle at the end of its useful life. “ Criteria and discord. Said Annex I, in which the points that determine what a repairable or not, show certain shadows in the case of motorcycles are collected. And Europe will consider that a vehicle is technically irreparable if it meets one or more of the following criteria. It has been cut into pieces or disassembled (“disassembling” a motorcycle is necessary for virtually any deep modification). Its repair requires the replacement of the engine, the gearbox, the body or assembly of the frame, which results in the loss of the original identity of the vehicle. He has not carried out the National Technical Inspection required for more than two years from the date on which it was last required. They are just some examples that would supposedly put in check the identity of the classic motorcycle, in which it is more than common to replace or repair components such as the engine, body and gearbox. The matter of Do not pass ITV: Many of these classic vehicles are projects that do not circulate by road until they have ended (they can last years). Not what you are thinking. So far, it is not unreasonable to think that the EU has lost its head and wants to end any used or classic vehicle. But the key is to interpret the text well. Which, in its first paragraph, makes clear the objective: “New measures to address EU’s exterior environmental footprint Linked to export of vfu and used vehicles. “ In other words, what Europe wants is to create a solid regulatory framework in which there is a clear distinction between what is an apt vehicle and not suitable for its export. For example, prevent a motorcycle from without ITV and that requires motor replacement, can be exported abroad. Something that would not prevent, if it has the ITV per day and the corresponding replacement of an approved motor, it can be sold without problem. In the requirements of Section 2, related to the controls and requirements related to the export of used vehicles, the previous references are made, but for the moment there are no criteria beyond those related to the sale outside of Spain. What does FEMA ask. FEMA’s request is clear: that motorcycles are outside this directive Or, in case they are applied, to play with their own rules. In Spain we consider everything with at least 30 years as a classic vehicle. Some of them, far from reaching the end of their useful life, enjoy a second life thanks, precisely, to the replacement of components. Doubts are lawful about whether a classic, fully functional and restored vehicle will cease to be considered repairable or valid for export after application of the new regulations. One that, by the way, must still be voted, approve, and get ahead with more than possible modifications in the text.

There is already a detainee for using the Meta Ray-Ban to record without consent. Recorded hundreds of women in Barcelona without finding out

A young man has been arrested in Barcelona After recording hundreds of women with smart glasses without their knowledge. What he did with those recordings: use them in their “seduction” courses that sold for 3,000 euros. Why is it important. It is the first known case in Spain where Ray-Ban Meta They are used to commit crimes against intimacy. The victims did not know that a camera that they did not detect recorded conversations about personal information that later disseminated and monetized. The facts. The detainee approached foreign tourists in Barcelona, ​​held apparently casual conversations and recorded them with glasses that had an integrated camera. Without noticing it, and in fact hiding it. The videos were later published in Tiktok and Instagram as a claim for their “seduction techniques” courses. In figures: 329 videos analyzed by the police. 239 Conversations with intimate data of women. 700,000 visualizations reached the video of the complainant. 3,000 euros cost the full course (plus 45 euros per month of subscription) The technical problem. The Ray-Ban Meta (329 euros) emit a white light when recording, but it is easy to hide them with small tricks. The majority of victims did not detect being recorded, according to police investigation. Smart glasses pose a privacy dilemma that we had not had to face so far, although it already anticipated a decade ago with The Google Glass opening the way. Ray-Ban Meta are much more concealed. Let’s not talk compared to a mobile. Yes, but. Goal designed a safeguard: the indicator light. The problem arises when malicious users deliberately avoid them to record without consent and then make malicious use, or at least to monetize or spread them. Goal is preparing more AI functions for these glasses that will identify places or people in real time. Some users have achieved it on their own. This arrest promises to be the first of many conflicts that are yet to come between body technology and privacy.

Telegram has just starred in a surprising script turn. One in which privacy loses

Telegram announced these days that predictably will integrate Grok in its application This summer. We will have the ability to use a chatbot of AI inside the messaging app, which is precisely the same as the goal has driven to Integrate goal AI In WhatsApp recently. The strategic alliance is striking, but also worrying. A juicy agreement. After the announcement of Pavel Durov, CEO of Telegram, Elon Musk I clarified that the agreement was not yet signed. Durov replied that only some formalities remained. If it is finally confirmed, XAI will pay 300 million dollars to Telegram in cash and shares. Telegram will also take 50% of the revenues of Grok subscriptions that are sold via the messaging app. Everything seems fantastic for Telegram, but what will Musk win? Data are a treasure. This agreement allows Grok to immediate access to a massive user base, part of which can become payment subscribers of the XAI IA service. But above all, it will allow Elon Musk’s company to obtain access to a massive data collection that can be used to train their AI models, for example. The same happens with goal and the inclusion of goal AI in WhatsApp: the conversations we have with the chatbot are not encrypted, and can serve among other things to train the company’s models. Musk already did something similar with x. Just two months ago Elon Musk made a strategic play and fused X with Xai. The operation was logical, especially after Grok’s initial integration in X, but that strengthened even more a forceful reality: that the data of X users could be used to Train XAI AI models. Taking into account that Musk had been Looking for a plan B For data scarcity, that operation and the agreement with Telegram demonstrate that voracious hunger of data. Hardov’s promises. In a tweet after the ad, Durov expressed his Commitment to privacy. “The user’s privacy is essential,” he said, adding that “to be clear, XAI will only access the data that Telegram users explicitly share with Grok through direct interactions. It’s expected: you can’t send messages to anyone (not even a chatbot) without sharing what you write.” That last sentence showed again that by default Telegram does not figure the messages. If users are concerned about their privacy, they must be attentive to this circumstance. As a security expert explained in a 2016 study, “Telegram is not safe“ Telegram and privacy. For years Telegram grew precisely because of its theoretical focus on the privacy of its users. It was one of the first to announce the use of extreme-a-extreme encryption (E2E, end-to-end). However, even that option He had small print. Not many users realized that in reality E2E encryption only applied in secret chats to, according to those responsible, that they would not raise suspicions. Yielding data to governments. Things worsened in September 2024. That was when Telegram CEO, Pavel Durov, announced that would provide users with governments to be asked, although in reality the service conditions They already opened that door long before. Changes in these policies were produced After the controversial detention that Durov had suffered in France a few days before. The measure was especially surprising, especially considering that Telegram had become famous for Resist those same interference by the government of Russia. In January 2025 it was revealed how Telegram had yielded data from thousands of users to the United States authorities. We have just known that then they have continued yielding many more. Changing headquarters. An analysis of the security and privacy of Telegram carried out by ESET He revealed the deficiencies in these areas and in the protection of anonymity, but also pointed out another important detail: Telegram has changed several times of jurisdiction and its headquarters has been traveling from Berlin to London, then to Singapore and finally Dubai. The objective was to maintain its independence, but that leaves an ambiguous legal framework on data management. Bad news for privacy. All this makes the suspicions about the privacy guarantees offered by Telegram to its users are harmed. XAI is an American company, and the already revealed data assignments to that government by Telegram only reinforce a worrying trend.

An urbanization was deserted in Valencia after the real estate bubble. Some geniuses have made it ‘Call of Duty’

The real estate bubble It has had, at least, a positive effect: abandoned residential areas are born to be born a sudden and sporadic new life when they are assaulted by groups of Airsoft fans, a kind of ‘Call of Duty’ in real life that could not aspire to more colorful and appropriate scenarios than those of site as seven waters. What is Airsoft? An activity that Simulates tactical fighting using reprisons of firearms that trigger small plastic balines. These weapons are Real -scale replicas but they do not entail danger (they cannot even be manipulated to become real weapons). The objective is to meet missions or eliminate the opposite team, and over time this hobby has diversified in different styles, ranging from the Recreation of historical battles to modern war clashes that remind it of ‘Call of Duty’. The unusual clash between the Airsoft and the real estate bubble. Airsoft is played in closed environments, which can range from areas specially designed to it to more open but security controls. For example, abandoned industrial areas or empty peoples are used. On many occasions the associations that organize Airsoft games run into legal requirements that require the delimitation of the pitch so that the balls do not exceed their limits or the express permit of the land owner and the corresponding licenses. Therefore, an area like seven waters is especially appreciated by fans. What is seven waters? Seven waters is A municipality in the province of Valencia54 kilometers from the capital and surrounded by a mountain natural environment. It has 1279 inhabitants and a remarkable story with vestiges of the Muslim era, but the most interesting for Airsoft practitioners is an unfinished urbanization where only the streets and about 50 homes were built. The constructions (whose future plans included 684 villas, a shopping center, a hotel and a golf course, all with US financing) They were paralyzed in 2007 for the outbreak of the real estate bubble, and although it is not the only area around seven waters that are abandoned (there are An empty village very close, the reatillo), is the only one that has been recycled for Airsoft practice. Legal Airsoft. The treatment that has reached the Airsoft Plairsoft association and the owner of the urbanizations It is simple and benefits all those involved: the area is rented as a space for sports use, which prevents cases of occupation and vandalism; The owner puts the basic elements of security and surveillance, and the nearby seven waters receive a thrust in its economy and dynamization of other activities (in the area It is practiced mountaineering, riding, Mountain Bikeparagliding and hiking), which take advantage of the natural environment. Zombi attraction park. In 3Dguegosour partner Rubén Márquez compared the reuse of this space to what a few years ago He could see in Detroit: a city with neighborhoods so abandoned that in its day the possibility of recycling them was raised as Zombi theme attraction park. That did not set to curdle, but it is inevitable to think of projects like that when we see men disguised as soldiers with plastic guns, in environments that could have been very close to habitability, with villas that on the outside seem almost functional. A zombie amusement park, but where the guns do not kill. Header | Plairsoft In Xataka | A new movement has emerged in the US: Current people with AR-15 rifles preparing for a social collapse

What options offers Samsung’s artificial intelligence in your gallery

Let’s explain the main Options offered by Galaxy AI in photo app In a Samsung Galaxy with One UI 7. Galaxy AI It is Samsung’s artificial intelligence, and has many options throughout the operating system, including several in the manufacturer’s native photo gallery application. We are going to focus on three key functions, the stuffing of images when you are going to turn them, so that if you have been crooked the straighteners and fill the remaining holes. Also the magical draft of elements and the possibility of drawing by hand an element and that the AI ​​generates it within a photo. To use any of these options, when you are in the gallery You have a galaxy ai button With the icon of some stars. That will give you two options, one to use the generative edition and another to go out of sketch to the image. Turn an image and fill the gaps To turn an image and fill the holes, go to the gallery and click on the icon of the stars below. When you are in the options, choose the tab Generative editionand inside simply use the level to turn the image what you want. You will see that it stays in gray in the gaps that are empty. When you have it turned to your liking, click on the button Triggerand Galaxy AI will fill it by adding elements with artificial intenigence. Here, the less you have to fill more accurate. Eliminate elements of a photo Although the gallery already has in the editing options the possibility of deleting photos, The results are much better with the generative edition. Again, go to Galaxy AI options, and choose the option of Generative edition. Once inside, click on the object you want to eliminate To be selected. Several icons will appear, and you must poll. When you do this, you will see that the object is badly erased. However, when this happens click on the button Trigger That you have under. In doing so, Galaxy AI will fill in the image in the hole left by the element erased, and it really will be as if he had never been there. You can also change the site element By the way, when you select an object, in the options you have Another to move the element. When you do, simply drag this element to another side of the photo, gyrus it, change size and whatever you want. When you have done it, click on Trigger. The site where the object would be filled so that it seems that it was not, and then it will be integrated where you have placed it. Draw things to be generated in the photo In the Galaxy AI options inside the gallery app, you also have The tab Image outline. When you use it, you will have the possibility of make a hand drawing About the chosen photo. When you have it, click on the button Trigger. When you have made the drawing and clicks on Trigger, Galaxy AI will draw something about the photo Based on your outline. When you have it you can save the copy, but also slide to the left to be able to make more image generations in case the first does not convince you.

break the hegemony of the US

China no longer chases Silicon Valley in Ia. In certain aspects it has advanced it and the earthquake that Deepseek caused at the beginning of the year was The beginning of the consolidation of a Big 5. After years of dispersion, these five companies have separated from the rest of the Chinese ecosystem to compete directly with American giants developing foundational models. Why is it important. Five Chinese companies have emerged as serious competitors from OpenAi, Google, Anthropic and company. Its strategy combines large investments, international talent and approaches that prevail the open source. The context. Two years ago, China lived a scattered battle, with dozens and hundreds of models and companies experiencing without clear leadership, without important differentiation. Today, the panorama is another: A quintet has developed technologies that rival great Americans. They symbolize the transition from China as a technological imitator to innovative that marks the rhythm. However, their models are not freed from government censorship. In addition, they do not compete internationally at the same level as Americans for a mixture of political, demographic and business model motifs. The five champions. Alibaba, Bytedonce, Stepfun, Deepseek and Zhipu are the new power of the Chinese power. Each has found its own niche: from open source domain to pure research. Alibaba: The King of Open Source Alibaba became one of the great world leaders of open development in AI together with Meta. His QWEN models series Master the open source ecosystem: The ten most popular Hugging Face models are based on secondary developments of Qwen technology. Alibaba’s strategy combines massive investment with radical opening. It will allocate 380,000 million yuan (about 52,000 million dollars) to research in AI and cloud infrastructure over the next three years, a budget at the height of great Americans. This commitment to open source It is not altruistic. By releasing its advances, it alibba accelerates world innovation while positioning itself as the premium infrastructure and services provider. Developers adopt free qwen … … But companies pay for cloud services, support and specific optimizations. The model demonstrated its effectiveness: while Openai and Anthropic maintain their closed systems, Alibaba builds an ecosystem where thousands of developers continually improve their base models. This distributed collaboration network can exceed the speed of innovation of closed laboratories, however well financed they are. Bytedance: giant and massive Bytedance brings to the group something other Chinese competitor possesses: Proven experience in global mass consumption products. The company behind Tiktok moved its knowledge of viral algorithms and user experience to the IA creating Doubaoa conversational platform that exceeds 100 million monthly active users according to the figures released by the company itself. This adoption scale provides Bytedance A unique advantage: large -scale real interaction data. While other laboratories train with static data sets, Bytedance optimizes their models with feedback constant of millions of real conversations, continually refining the behavior and usefulness of their systems. The company complemented its experience in consumer products with technical talent such as Wu Yonghui, who directs its research team in large models. Yonghui was a senior researcher at Deepmindso it brings direct knowledge of Silicon Valley developments. Your programming tool Bring It is oriented to business markets. Use OpenAI and Anthropic models (GPT / Sonnet) as a base, so it follows A pragmatic approach similar to perplexity: Use the best available technology while developing their own abilities. Stepfun: the discrete national team Stepfun is The most enigmatic member of the Big 5 Chinese. His low profile is deliberate. Based in Shanghai and backed by Shanghai State-Wned Capital Investment Co., it represents the most strategic facet of the Chinese national bet in Ia. He won the nickname of “King of Involution” In multimodal models, a recognition of their ability to overcome rivals in Benchmarks technicians Achieved outstanding positions both In Chatbot Arena International like first place In OpenCompassthe most reputed evaluation platform in China. His competitive advantage lies in a technical team led by Xiangyu Zhang, one of the four co -authors of the Paper Resnet. This work, which marked a turning point in the study of deep neural networksholds the record as the most cited article of any field published in the 21st century, something that provides immediate scientific credibility to Stepfun’s developments. State support allows Stepfun long -term research approaches without immediate commercial pressuressimilar to the model that followed laboratories such as Deepmind or Openai in its initial phases. Or Deepseek’s, but we talk about them later. ZHIPU: Pioneer in Smart Agents Zhipu represents the most direct connection between the Chinese elite academy and the commercialization of advanced AI. Incubated in the Tsinghua University, the most prestigious technical institution in Chinacombines academic rigor with business ambition. He wants to become the first Chinese startup of LLMS to go over. It is a pioneer in the development of AI agents. Your concept Phone Use And the launch of agents based on US laboratories demonstrates independent innovation capacity, not only to monitor western tendencies. Your most advanced product, Autogglm Ruminationrepresents what the company classifies as the first L3 level intelligent agent in the world. L3 is in any case an internal categorization of Zhipu, not a standard metric internationally recognized. The Immine Before the end of the year a milestone for the sector is: it will be the first public validation of the market value of the Chinese companies of AI. From there, the market will say. Deepseek: pure research as an advantage Deepseek showed that fundamental research approaches can compete directly with hyperfinanced commercial products. Your model R1 was an earthquake at the beginning of the year. And was achieved by a team of engineers released from immediate financial pressures and focused exclusively on technical efficiency and innovation. The company’s philosophy contrasts with the environment of Silicon Valley: Your engineers are encouraged to improve efficiency from a purely investigative perspectivewithout that financial pressure to generate short -term benefits. This environment is fertile land for risky experimentation and the exploration of unconventional approaches. The success of Deepseek … Read more

Nvidia has to deal with the absolute distrust of several US legislators. His plan in China is in danger

The dispute that Eeuu and China hold It is deeply conditioning the business of many Chinese companies, such as Huawei, SMIC or Hua Hong semiconductor, but is also affecting a very important way To some western companies. The Dutch ASML and the American Nvidia They are in all likelihood that are facing the greatest challenges as a result of the pulse maintained by the American and China administrations. The Chinese market is essential for both, but the sanctions that have approved US governments and the Netherlands They prevent them from selling their customers led by Xi Jinping a good part of their product porpholio. Even so, both companies are doing what is in their hand to defend their economic and commercial interests, and dispense with the Chinese market is not one of its options. In fact, Nvidia has officialized His intention to put a specialized installation in the design of integrated circuits in Shanghai (China). Some legislators consider that Nvidia’s plan is a threat to the US The newspaper The Wall Street Journal It has been made with a letter in which the Republican senator by Indiana Jim Banks and the Democratic Senator for Massachusetts Elizabeth Warren are directed directly to Jensen Huang, the general director of Nvidia. In this text these legislators argue that the installation that Nvidia plans to open in Shanghai represents a direct threat to US national security due to the possibility that China acquires the ability to design avant -garde GPU for artificial intelligence (AI). “No American company should be helping the Chinese Communist Party to close the gap in artificial intelligence,” Nvidia has responded immediately. There is too much at stake to take this light attention call. A spokesman for this company has expressed that its purpose “It is simply to rent a new space that the company’s employees can use after the return to work after the Coronavirus pandemic. The scope of work will not change“However, Nvidia’s official justification does not seem convincing for Warren and Banks. In fact, this last legislator has declared that “no American company should be helping the Chinese communist party to close the gap in artificial intelligence.” It is evident that this is an accusation of full -fledged Nvidia. A very serious accusation that complicates the future plans of the company led by Jensen Huang in China if we are in mind that the manifesto is backed at least by a senator of the Republican party and a senator of the Democratic Party. In addition, this claim comes at a very important moment for Nvidia. The engineers of this company have just concluded The development of a GPU With Blackwell microarchitecture aimed at replacing to the H20 chip whose sale in China has been prohibited by the last sanctions package of the Department of Commerce. The Nvidia Plan is that TSMC starts the manufacture of this GPU expressly intended for the Chinese market in June, but at the current situation it would not be surprising at all that the Department of Commerce prevents its delivery to Chinese clients in Nvidia. We will see what happens finally, but the panorama does not paint anything well for the company led by Jensen Huang.

Heat ends, but storms arrive

The heat is being the undisputed protagonist of this week at the weather. However The warm episode He has his days (or his hours) counted in much of the Peninsula: as of today the extreme heat will live with rains and storms: some communities will have to alert for very different phenomena. Variopintos phenomena. Meteorologists foresee that the warm episode that affects the peninsula will fade in the next few days and that at the beginning of next week the instability will be the dominant tonic. The transition will not be simple: during the next few days some areas will see the arrival of rainfall and storms while others Taguada vs. dorsal. Let’s put some context to understand what is happening at the atmospheric level. A few days ago we saw an arrival of an Atlantic anticyclone and an associated dorsal. The dorsal are areas of high pressures that extend from a high pressures center lengthening the scope of anticyclonic time. The stability associated with high pressures, along with other factorscontributed to a high insolation that warmed the air of the peninsula until it brought us to the current situation. However meteorologists They announce now that a trough display in the next few days the dorsal. That is, from a situation we move on to the opposite, with a region of low pressures associated with a storm changing the meteorological panorama. A heat pause. And how this translates: then that instability will take possession of peninsular meteorology. Some areas will begin to see storms today, but it will be from Sunday, with the arrival of the dorsal, which these are generalized. Heat warnings and storm warnings. The peculiar transition between two weeks marked by opposite phenomena will leave A singular notice map of the State Meteorology Agency (Aemet), a map in which yellow and orange warnings coexist due to maximum and storm temperatures (and also yellow notices for rains). In this sense, today it will be the most unique: 14 autonomous communities (all peninsular except Murcia) will see active notices throughout the day. Of these highlight orange notices due to temperatures of up to 40º Celsius in the Sevillian countryside; and orange warnings for storms inside the Cantabrian cornice, from the Asturian southwestern to the inner Bizkaia. In unknown terrain. Spring is a transit station where changes in the atmospheric situation are not entirely strange. However, we can talk about an anomalous season in terms of meteorology: from a drought we spend some of the months with more rainfall than we have record. Now we return to one more panorama in the tonic of recent years: with a summer that is advanced leaving us extreme heat during the last week of May. To know what will happen during the real summer we will still have to wait a few weeks. In Xataka | The reservoirs are almost 22% above the average of the last decade.

If something did not need the Ukraine War it was to enliven the conflict in an occupied nuclear power plant. Russia thinks different

The paradox of the largest nuclear power plant in Europe is that it has been closed for three years and everyone wants to “open.” Without going far, the United States was the last nation to hint that it would be delighted to restart her. The problem is that it is in Ukraine, although Taken by Russiaand in the middle of a war whose end does not stick. Moscow knows that he has an energy pressure tool, but some satellite images have revealed much more. The space betrays. The story took this week The New York Times. Through new satellite images analyzed by Greenpeace and verified by the American environment, it has been revealed that Russia is building more than 80 kilometers of electric lines in the south busy of Ukraine with the aim of connecting the Zaporiyia nuclear plant to its own energy network. Covert reopening. This maneuver, until now without Russian official confirmation, represents the clearest signal until the intention of Moscow’s intention to reactivate and exploit the largest central in Europe, forcibly in the first bars of the invasion. Although its six reactors were gradually turned off (the last in 2023) for security reasons and due to nearby fightingRussia seems determined to return it to operationchallenging the warnings of international experts that consider that operating it under these conditions would be a nuclear risk first order. The Russian Plan seeks surround the current damage In the old 750 kilowol lines that connected the central with the Ukrainian network, two of which are going through areas under Kyiv control, and two others that have been useless or deteriorated by the war. Unprecedented use. If specified, this would be the First time in history in that a power at war restarts and uses an occupied nuclear plant for its own energy benefit. Russia, through the state Rosatom, has openly shown Your ambition: its general director He said recently that the dream of reactivating Zaporiyia is still alive and that there is already a technical plan to return the plant to full capacity. The Russian intention does not seem to maintain territorial control of the complex, but to integrate it directly into the national electricity network, possibly and According to the Timesconnecting it with the Russian region of Rostov, which would require even more infrastructure. As we said at the beginning, the United States proposed a peace plan that included the return of the plant to Ukraine under international management (specifically American), In an attempt to avoid its use as a geopolitical tool. Russia He rejected sharply said option. Various risks. No doubt, we don’t talk about simply pressing the “ignition” button. In fact, the possibility of reactivating the central has awakened alarms Among nuclear experts. Since his shot, much of the Ukrainian technical staff has fled, leaving the plant No qualified operators. In addition, the Kajovka dam hole months ago (widely attributed to Russia), it eliminated the main source of water from the reactor refrigeration system and spent fuel, raising thermal and fusion risks in case of a failure. For its part, the Minister of Energy of Ukraine He warned that any Russian unilateral attempt to restart reactors could have unpredictable consequences. To all this is added The possibility of sabotage, military attacks or operational failures in a plant already located in an active combat zone. The consequences of a nuclear escape would not be limited to the region: the impact on the environment, human health and the energy stability of Europe would be unpredictable (and possibly devastating). A high voltage piece. As we have coming countingthe status of the Zaporiyia plant has become a power sheet in the peace negotiations. While Russia progresses (slowly) in her Technical reconnectionThe United States and its allies press to include their status in the terms of any future solution. The satellite images Recent, which reveal transmission lines advancing near the town of Shevchenko and towards a key substation linked to the complex, confirm that Moscow not only wants to retain control, but to turn the plant into a Active source of energy for your network. If you want also, snapshots from space reveal a deeper strategy: to consolidate the economic and energy control of the territories occupied as part of a Possible post -stroke. However, any attempt by Moscow to reactivate the plant without international consensus not only defies the rules of war law, but also brings us an unpublished threshold of nuclear insecurity.
