Stopping Zaporizhzhia NPP will bring closer nuclear catastrophe scenario – Energoatom

Russia stopping Zaporizhzhia NPP will bring closer radiation catastrophe scenario, Ukraine’s state nuclear agency Energoatom said in a statement.

If ZNPP generators are disconnected from the Ukrainian power grid they won’t be able to cool nuclear fuel if power supply to station is cut off.
