Board of War

The Board of War has mobilized a CBRN battalion in North Chosun, and officially raised the 5-million strong North Chosun Workers and Peasants' Militia, as it aims to combat the aftereffects of the Nyongbyon nuclear disaster.

To provide radiologocal protection by prevention of airborne contamination, and to prevent weathering of the reactor remains, the Board of War has planned to cover the entire reactor with a containment structure, similar to the ones found in Fukushima and Chernobyl. The Board has liaised with the American Sandia National Laboratories ( Imperial Eagle ) to procure massive batches of decontamination materials to cover the reactor.

5,000 troops have also been mobilized to construct a 78.4 kilometre-long fence, which will surround a 422.58 kmē swath of land surrounding the reactor. The area, now designated the "Primary Contamination Zone", will be subject to a lengthy cleanup process by the Board of War, estimated to last 8 months. Massive excavators and ploughs were seen tilling the land, trying to cover the radioactive outer layer of the soil with soil from the deep surface, while some soldiers were instructed to kill animals that resided within the PCZ, for fear that they would spread radioactive particles as they moved. Trenches were also dug around the area, meant to be dumping grounds for personal belongings and other components in the area that may have been irradiated.

Members of the Qing public, concerned about the release of radioactive gas from the accident, staged numerous anti-nuclear demonstrations across the country in the subsequent days following the accident. The largest demonstration was held in the Capital, and involved 50,000 people. A series of nightly marches were also held at the Arch of Triumph in Pingyang (Pyongyang). Just last night, an estimated 5,000 people attended a march and rally against nuclear power in Hanyang (Seoul).
