My nightmare so far has no solution

In the meantime, the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the shelling of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant occurred, which, according to Dana Drábová herself, shattered her previous world. In the interview, we also touched on this very unusual situation, although we tried to place this touch within context and background.

In the next part of the interview, Dana Drábová described Chernobyl as the event that clearly had the biggest impact on the fear of nuclear energy. We discussed topics such as nuclear fusion, the threat called blackout or the Green Deal as a possible way out of Europe’s dependence on fossil fuels. Dana Drábová mentioned iodine tablets as a particularly painful issue, which she is somewhat despairing about.
