Sept 30 (Reuters) – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Tuesday the situation at the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power station had become critical, with Russian shelling preventing restoration of power needed to cool the reactors and prevent a meltdown.
Zelenskiy, speaking in his nightly video address, said one of the diesel generators providing emergency power was no longer working, seven days after external power lines went down.
„This is the seventh day. There has never before been such an emergency situation at the Zaporizhzhia plant. The situation is critical. Russian shelling has cut the plant off from the electricity network,“ Zelenskiy said.
The Zaporizhzhia plant, Europe’s largest with six reactors, was seized by Russian troops in the first weeks of Russia’s February 2022 invasion of Ukraine and each side regularly accuses the other of attacks that endanger nuclear safety.
It produces no electricity at the moment, but needs power to ensure fuel in the reactors remain cool and no meltdown occurs.
„This is a threat to everyone. No terrorist in the world has ever dared to do with a nuclear power plant what Russia is doing now. And it is right that the world not remain silent.“
Russian officials have not commented on the latest statements on conditions at the Zaporizhzhia plant.
Rafael Grossi, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, the U.N.’s nuclear watchdog, decried the cutoff of the external power lines on Monday, but assessed no blame to either side.
Grossi has repeatedly called on both sides to uphold nuclear safety. IAEA monitors are stationed permanently at Zaporizhzhia and at Ukraine’s three other nuclear power stations.
oh well guess its all over…
Its just a matter of time. Donald, please call your friends.
Well that doesn’t sound super good.
This is pure stupidity and insanity.
For all worried about Chernobyl 2.0… that’s not what a full blown controlled meltdown would like like here.
For starters the Zaporizhzhia plant has steel and concreate domes unlike Chernobyl it’s design makes a type of explosion like that impossible.
However if diesel generators are in fact down, which I’m gonna side with Ukraine here, they have hours to stabilize things with backup power before a cold shutdown begins, and as long as Russia doesn’t drone strike it the damage will mostly stay in the facilities pressurized water chambers and damage will be on site, local at most.
How would he know? Hasn’t it been in Russian hands for two years now? Also, why woukd Russia shell a nuclear reactor that they control?
I’m told it’s the equivalent of a chest xray
This is becoming like a game of command and conquer more and more each day. I’m just waiting for Yuri to make an appearance…
Got a geigercounter that went to 8000 cpm this past hour. I got a bit fucking terrified but i think its faulty most likely.. tested with a similar and got no reading at all above background. Hella scary tho.. cheers to nuclear energy
