00:00So with Israel targeting Iran's nuclear facilities at the moment, we're seeing rising tensions both between India and Pakistan and the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war.
00:13Is the world edging closer to a possible nuclear radiation incident happening?
00:19I think my concern is mostly with the Russian role taking over the Ukrainian nuclear power plant, Zaporizhia.
00:27There have been numerous incidents where the plant's safety and security was put at risk, and the UN nuclear watchdog was very concerned about a radiological disaster, given the fighting and impacts to the plant.
00:41Pakistan and India is also a concern.
00:43There is nothing really to stop the two from escalating from that situation spinning out of control, except for the threat of mutually assured destruction, and the threat that they would do serious damage to their populations, respectively, if they traded nuclear launches.
01:03So there are many things to be concerned about right now with nuclear weapons use.
01:08Let's hope that cooler heads prevail, though, in all of these situations.
