“There could be a nuclear catastrophe.
The nuclear reactor is in operation, its power supply is interrupted by artillery strikes, power lines are cut off.
Diesel generation is also damaged.
How to cool down the engine?
And not cooling down the engine can lead to overheating of the reactor and then a disaster, ”RIA Novosti quotes him.
On November 20, Advisor to the General Director of Rosenergoatom, Renat Karchaa, announced that the Ukrainian military had subjected the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant to massive artillery fire.
Strategic facilities were damaged.
After that, IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi demanded an immediate halt to the shelling of the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant, "no matter who is behind it."
Russian President Vladimir Putin noted that the IAEA leadership is under pressure from the United States and European countries, so he cannot directly say that the shelling of the station area comes from the Ukrainian side.
