China News Service, June 9th, according to a report by the Russian Satellite Network on the 9th, a diesel leak occurred in a thermal power plant in Norilsk, Russia, and about 21,000 cubic meters of fuel leaked. Some experts said that the diesel leaked in the accident will not flow into the Kara Sea.
According to reports, Kirillov, an expert at the Institute of Water and Environmental Problems at the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, said that some diesel has been recovered, but there is no need to continue because the current collection method is used for oil. At present, the leaked diesel has been "diluted" and followed.
He pointed out that the leaked diesel will not flow to the Kara Sea, and some of it will indeed sink to the bottom of the river, while the rest of the diesel will spread in the Piasina River and be absorbed by the self-purification of the water body.
According to reports, the Russian emergency department also said on June 9 that professionals had treated 33,000 square meters of contaminated ground with adsorbents at the Norilsk oil spill site.
According to previous reports, on May 29, a diesel storage tank of No. 3 thermal power station in Norilsk, Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia ruptured, and about 21,000 cubic meters of diesel leaked into the local river.
Norilsk Nickel pointed out that the accident was caused by the melting of the permafrost, which caused the support frame under the oil tank to sink. Russian President Vladimir Putin approved the border state into a federal emergency on June 3. On June 5, the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations announced that the fuel leak had been controlled.
