Consequences of the war in Ukraine

This looks like a very interesting webinar.  It is scheduled for Sat., February 18th. Please note that GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) is 5 hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time, so for folks on the east coast of the US, it will be at 10:00 AM

War in Ukraine: On the Brink of a Nuclear Catastrophe

As the deadly war in Ukraine approaches the one-year mark, an international expert panel will gather to explore the current and potential public health and environmental consequences of the ongoing crisis, along with the solutions to pull us back from the brink of a nuclear catastrophe. Join us on Saturday, 18 February at 3pm GMT to learn more. Topics include:

-Impacts on health, human rights, and the environment – An assessment of how the war has adversely affected civilians.

-Risk to nuclear reactors — The factors that could lead to a catastrophe at any of Ukraine’s nuclear power plants — loss of power, stress-induced worker error or an accidental or deliberate attack — continue to worsen, making such an outcome more likely.

-Escalation to nuclear weapons – The catastrophic regional and global consequences if nuclear weapons are launched intentionally or by accident or miscalculation.
