“According to the President, blackout on the objects of the former Chernobyl nuclear power plant lasted more than three hours”, – WRITE: www.radiosvoboda.org
“Through today’s Russian blow, one of our energy substations in Slavutych lasted blackberries on the objects of the former Chernobyl nuclear power plant for more than three hours. This is, in particular, a new shelter that protects the environment from the remains of the fourth power unit after the 1986 explosion and radioactive fragments and dust. It is also a repository for waste nuclear fuel, which stores 80% of all such exhaust fuels, which has been accumulated during the operation of NPPs. These are exhausting fuel collections with a total weight of more than 3250 tons, ”Zelensky wrote in a telegram.
According to him, the Russian military “could not know” that the blow on objects in Slavutych would have such consequences for Chernobyl.
“And it was a purposeful blow in which they used more than 20 drones-according to preliminary estimation, Russian-Iranian” Shahmed “. Some of these drones were confused, but the blow was organized by a wave of drones to complicate the protection of the object, ”Zelensky emphasized.
He also noted that the eighth day is a blackout at the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant, which began through Russian shelling in the NPP.
“And the Russians do absolutely nothing to remedy the situation and enable Ukrainian specialists to restore external nutrition of the ZPP, which should function continuously under normal conditions,” the President said.
According to him, to remedy the situation, “a strong response and appropriate pressure on Russia are needed.”
“Weak and half solutions will not work. Every day of delaying Russia, Russian rejection of a complete and reliable ceasefire, constant Russian blows on all objects of our energy, including those on which the safety of nuclear stations and other nuclear infrastructure depends on a global threat. Including the Chernobyl and ZPP objects in Ukraine are six nuclear power plants, and each of them can be a target for Russian drones and missiles. It is important that the countries of Europe, the United States, the countries of the Seven Groups and the Group of Twenty are actually acting for peace and security for one hundred percent of the possible, ”Zelensky said.
The IAEA has not been reacted to criticize the President of Ukraine. Earlier there they commented on blackberry at the Chernobyl NPP, noting that the new safe confinement of the Chernobyl NPP, which remained without electricity after the voltage caused by Russian blows in the Kyiv region, receives energy from generators.
Earlier today, the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine has declared blackberries at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant through the Russian shelling of Kyiv region.
“Due to the Russian firing of energy infrastructure in the Kiev region in the city of Slavutich at the objects of the Chernobyl NPP, there was an emergency. As a result of the voltage jumping without power supply, a new safe confinement was a key object that isolates the destroyed fourth Chernobyl unit and prevents the release of radioactive materials into the environment, ”the message reads.
According to the Ministry of Energy, experts carry out work on the restoration of power supply. Whether there was a radioactive threat due to shutdown.
Mayor of Slavutych Yuriy Fomichev previously reported a Russian blow to a substation of 330 kV – the city was left without power supply.
The local authorities of Chernihiv region also reported that electricity supply has disappeared in part of the region due to a Russian blow in a neighboring region.
Earlier this year, the authorities of Ukraine reported that the Russian shock drone with a special fighting part hit the shelter of the destroyed 4th power unit of the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Station. Chernobyl shelter was damaged.
