Under the worst-case scenario, the actions of the invaders could lead to the destruction of nuclear fuel in the ZNPP reactors, which would lead to accidents comparable to the Chernobyl disaster.
The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) appealed to the world community to recognize Russia’s actions related to the Zaporozhye NPP as nuclear terrorism. This is stated in the statement of the National Academy of Sciences.
It has been proposed to limit Russia’s access to the latest nuclear technologies and impose sanctions against Russia’s nuclear industry.
“All mechanisms must be used for the complete demilitarization of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant – the withdrawal of the Russian military from this largest nuclear facility in Europe and the entire territory adjacent to it, including the city of Energodar, ” said the report.
It was noted that under the worst-case scenario, such actions by the invaders could lead to the destruction of nuclear fuel in the ZNPP reactors, which would lead to accidents comparable only to the disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in 1986 and the Japanese nuclear power plant Fukushima-Daichi in 2011. In the event of an accident, the consequences will be felt not only by Ukraine, but by the whole world.
As stated in the statement of the National Academy of Sciences, which is on the territory of the ZNPP, the occupiers also violate international law and the requirements of the IAEA, because nuclear power plants are objects of peaceful use of nuclear energy and in any case. if they become military objects.
Station staff are still in captivity, heavy Russian military equipment is located at the ZNPP site, ammunition is stored near power units, and part of it is inside the engine rooms of power unit. Moreover, the Russians are already openly blackmailing the world, declaring that they have mined the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant and are ready to blow it up.
It will be recalled that the invaders fired again into the ZNPP territory. The day before, the coastal zone of the nuclear power plant was pelted with stones, and an employee of the nuclear power plant was injured.
It was also reported that the Russian invaders mined the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant and threatened to blow it up.
