Several areas of concern after Chernobyl power plant is knocked off grid

"Without power, the ‘parameters of nuclear and radiation safety’ cannot be controlled, authorities warn" 

"Scientists have warned there are “several areas of concern” after the decommissioned Chernobyl nuclear plant in Ukraine was knocked off the power grid.

Authorities said the outage could put systems for cooling nuclear material at risk. The cause of the damage to the power line serving Chernobyl was not immediately clear. The plant, the site of the world’s worst nuclear disaster, is currently under the control of Russian troops." https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/chernobyl-nuclear-plant-ukraine-russia-latest-b2032037.html

Welcome to the world of nuclear-blackmail.

It's not like it was properly shut down in the 1980s. The damaged nuclear+power facility still has an ongoing chemical reaction, long after it was covered over.

The Zaporizhzhia and Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plants

The Zaporizhzhia_Nuclear_Power_Plant has certainly become a hot-spot.

Of course the Chernobyl plant remains heavily damaged since the 1980s.

"Initially announced following the release of Call of Pripyat, it was planned release in 2012, before it was ultimately cancelled on the year of its intended release.[1][2] The game resurfaced years later in 2018, with the development restarted and powered by the Unreal Engine 5, and a new release date on December 8, 2022.[3] Due to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, development for the game has been put on indefinite hold." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.T.A.L.K.E.R._2:_Heart_of_Chernobyl

The China Syndrome, Nuclear Power-plant Meltdown Scenario

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_meltdown#China_syndrome 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_reactor_accidents_in_the_United_States#Three_Mile_Island_accident

The_China_Syndrome movie was in theaters less than two weeks before an actual power plant emergency occurred in March 1979. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0078966/?ref_=m_tttr_tt

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_China_Syndrome#Plot 

https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/the-china-syndrome-1979

https://www.nytimes.com/1979/03/11/archives/fallout-from-china-syndrome-has-already-begun-the-china-syndrome.html

"The March 1979 release was met with backlash from the nuclear power industry's claims of it being "sheer fiction" and a "character assassination of an entire industry".[11] Twelve days later, the Three Mile Island nuclear accident occurred in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_China_Syndrome#Response_of_nuclear_industry

"When the film was first released on 16 March 1979, nuclear power executives soon lambasted the picture as being "sheer fiction" and a "character assassination of an entire industry". Then twelve days after its launch, the Three Mile Island nuclear accident occurred near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania." https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0078966/trivia/?ref_=tt_ql_trv

The overall production of a movie can take 1 or 2 years, so the release of this movie might be considered to be an example of synchronicity.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Mile_Island_accident#The_China_Syndrome For something like this to occur less than two weeks after the release of the movie, is an interesting coincidence at the very least.

WarGames, the 1983 American Cold War science fiction techno-thriller

2023 will be the 40th anniversary since the release of the WarGames movie. Now the world might be on the verge of a global scale conflagration, if things aren't peacefully resolved.

https://www.wired.com/2008/07/ff-wargames , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WarGames#Plot 

Release dates
  • May 7, 1983 (Cannes)
  • June 3, 1983 (United States)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WarGames#Influence , https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/wargames

So a few months after the wide release of the WarGames movie, a potentially serious situation arose.

"On 26 September 1983, during the Cold War, the nuclear early-warning radar of the Soviet Union reported the launch of one intercontinental ballistic missile with four more missiles behind it, from bases in the United States. These missile attack warnings were suspected to be false alarms by Stanislav Petrov, an officer of the Soviet Air Defence Forces on duty at the command center of the early-warning system. He decided to wait for corroborating evidence—of which none arrived—rather than immediately relaying the warning up the chain-of-command. This decision is seen as having prevented a retaliatory nuclear attack against the United States and its NATO allies, which would likely have resulted in an escalation to a full-scale nuclear war. Investigation of the satellite warning system later determined that the system had indeed malfunctioned." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983_Soviet_nuclear_false_alarm_incident
