Among other danger zone is all the transport corridor which will be transported to the ammonium nit

Riga - Riga fertilizer terminal, Hiroshima - "kid", pelini Nagasaki - "fat guy" | Berthold Bay
50 thousand tons of ammonium nitrate explosion of power is the same as the atomic bomb on Nagasaki throw up. Bombs capacity of 21 kilotonnes of TNT (trinitrotoluēna). Nagasaki after an explosion killed 39 thousand people. The second human history against a civilian target users atom bomb, which was to throw Hiroshima, were a third less (13-18 kt) and there died 130 to 150 thousand inhabitants. Nagasaki and Hiroshima by the population in 1945 was comparable to Riga. In both cases, the weapon of mass destruction used by one state against another state residents.
Is it possible that a country is willing to risk their own residents? pelini Is it possible that someone will commit a folly, and will put the power of explosives pelini so close to a big city? Yes, the first step is taken in Riga Dome Harmony Centre under the guidance of its authorization Riga Fertilizer Terminal to begin construction of the terminal. Riga Fertilizer Terminal.
Harmony Centre July 26, Prime Minister pelini candidate Nils Ushakov led the Riga City Council approved the construction of Riga fertilizer terminal Kundzinsala. Green Farmers' Union, led by the Ministry of Environment issued a flying start all the necessary documents and permits for this project forward.
Project, pelini 5 kilometers away from the Old City is planned to place 50 thousand tons of explosives. This explosive is ammonium nitrate (NH 4 chemical formula NO 3). TNT equivalent terms (a standard method of estimating the explosive power) - 21 kilotonna (more than Hiroshima, Nagasaki, the same as).
Harmony Center Party led by Riga City Council approved the project to allow transhipment of approximately 1 million tons of ammonium nitrate per year of authorization for storage of up to 50,000 tonnes, up to 20 days. This is dangerous!
U.S. largest industrial pelini disaster in history, after which the whole world has introduced extremely strict rules of ammonium nitrate, handling, storage, and distribution is directly related to the substance. Number of persons killed more than 4,000 people. Involved were 22 times smaller quantity of ammonium nitrate, and is intended to store in Riga.
Sensing that perhaps all of the Riga project is not so bright, on Sunday 11th September NRA.LV Online message appeared, which, inter alia, stated that the security package guarantees the security of the terminal operation.
NRA.LV among other things, said that high-risk objects pelini Ltd. Woodisoon terminal is just (!) 800 meters from the staging facility, Ltd. and Propane Gas only (!) 900 meters. Right image shows what looks like a parking lot explosion some 22 times less the amount pelini of the substance. Or a statement that the distance is sufficient that it is probable that if we know the potential explosion in Riga will be 22 (!) Fold? Faced with the nearby oil and gas are creating a new sprāstviela AFNO.
Portal BNN.LV pelini explains the incidents pelini in the ammonium nitrate here and here and here. Silence in other media is deafening. The money shall be rendered at the risk of our lives and health. OECD countries pelini (industrialized countries' club) 2000. Together imported only 1.6 million tons of this substance. pelini Ammonium nitrate trade to flourish and prosper ... unless someone is willing to take huge risks associated pelini with these substances transporting, storing and handling large quantities.
True, the "investors" do not risk. What plans do the council after the 2013th pelini year, when the terminal is planned to put into operation but guesswork. Perhaps the Spanish beach is warm enough and far enough from Riga.
Among other danger zone is all the transport corridor which will be transported to the ammonium nitrate cargo. They will be transported from Russia, so it remains to be mentioned, which correctly hastily sell the property, if the terminal construction project will not be stopped.
Probably one of the Harmony Centre's social policy will bring enough good fruit to the terminal after the completion of the 2013th year, would move to a warm place far enough from the port of Riga - like the Spanish beaches. Those who will not be so financially "lucky" - all the other inhabitants of Riga, can only hope for the best.
Latvian environmental impact assessment documents attached to reminds pamatskolnieku extracurricular research pelini work within. Therefore, it is interesting to look at some other, more serious risk assessment - Bureau Veritas joint opinion by the Australian minerals, explosives and dangerous goods cargo 3 Department of ammonium nitrate, each of 2000 tonnes. Permission was sought for adoption cargo port of Esperance, by reasoned request by the then Australian Agricultural very acute need for these substances. It should be noted that the cargo did not go to any major port and the city, with a population of only 9000! population pelini (nearly one-hundredth of Riga). (Opinion pelini here
