This press message was released by the Government of the Cesarstwo Walruzyjskie (Valruzian Empire)).
At 17:36 UTC, a radiation filter malfunction in reactions 2, 3, and 4 of the Białoczarny Nuclear Power Plant near Małokrąż, Małowalruzja, resulted in an explosion and fire in the facility, releasing large quantities of radioactive gases and other contaminants into the atmosphere, which have spread over much of Southwestern Valruzia, Eastern Baltusia and Northern Tukarali. The initial explosion has killed an estimated 183 people, with many more casualties expected due to the rising levels of radiation in the area. Residents of Małokrąż and the surrounding areas are in the process of being evacuated.
We would like to notify the nations of Baltusia and Tukarali, as well as Gaduridos, that their nations are at risk of being exposed to lethal levels of radiation as a result of this catastrophe.Signed,
the Government of the Cesarstwo Walruzyjskie (Valruzian Empire))
