“Dangers of hydrogen leakage and dispersion of radioactive substances remain, and the risk of fire is also high. On August 6, the Zaporozhye NPP operated with the risk of violating radiation and fire safety standards,” said of the report.
Also, after the emergency protection is triggered, one of the three operating power units is turned off.
At the same time, The Insider said that the invaders could mine the ZNPP or the area around the nuclear power plant. According to the source, the Gradov batteries are located near the village of Vodianoe, which is located closest to the nuclear power plant, and Russian soldiers are storing mines and ammunition near the power units – under of overpasses, and some of the bullets are even. inside the power unit.
This information was confirmed by the mayor of Energodar Dmitry Orlov.
“They hide heavy weapons, that is, several rocket launch systems, between the power units. That is, they retreat a little and fire across the Dnieper, the city of Nikopol, Marganets and the direction of Zaporozhye. And then they hide these systems between the power units,” he explained.
Orlov did not exclude that there are mines at Zaporizhzhya NPP and various provocative actions are planned. “This may be the next problem in providing specialists who operate nuclear power plants,” he said.
Energoatom reports that Ukrainian plant personnel continue to work even in these conditions and make every effort to ensure nuclear and radiation safety.
Right now, the station staff is working on eliminating the consequences of the damage caused by the shooting by the invaders on August 5. “The ZNPP staff found an opportunity to work safely in these conditions,” the report said. .
Meanwhile, the actions of the ZNPP occupiers were criticized in the European Union.
“The EU condemns Russia’s military activities around the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant. This is a serious and irresponsible violation of safety rules at nuclear facilities and another example of Russia’s disregard for international standard,” – expressed Josep Borrell, head of EU diplomacy.
He called for access to the ZNPP to representatives of the International Atomic Energy Agency.
It will be recalled that yesterday the Russian aggressors fired twice at the ZNPP. The power unit No. 4 were killed at the station.
President Vladimir Zelensky called such acts of terrorism by the Russian Federation and called for sanctions against Rosatom and the entire Russian nuclear sector.
