Archyde.com reported on the 11th (local time) that the operation of the Zaporiza nuclear power plant in Ukraine, occupied by Russia, has been completely suspended as a safety measure.
Ukraine’s state-owned nuclear power company, Energoatom, issued a statement on the same day, saying it had completely shut down Unit 6’s power unit following it disconnected it from the grid at 3:41 a.m. He said that he made the decision to switch to the safest state, ‘cold shutdown’. Unit 6 was the last reactor operating at the Japoriza nuclear power plant.
The Japoriza nuclear power plant, Europe’s largest nuclear power plant, has been bombarded by bombardment since August 5, raising concerns that radioactive material might be leaked. There are even concerns that ‘reactor core melting (meltdown)’, which is the highest level of nuclear accidents, may occur if power is not properly supplied to the nuclear reactor.

The fighting over the Japoriza nuclear power plant continued. On the 5th, Ukraine’s state-owned nuclear power company Energoatom announced that the last of six reactors in operation had been cut off from the power grid due to a fire following shelling. On the other hand, the Russian-appointed government of Enerhodar City countered that the Ukrainian bombardment damaged power lines around the nuclear power plant and caused a temporary power outage.
