Sabbathing of the Russian Federation at the ZPP: satellite revealed the real situation from the transmission line of the nuclear power station (photo)
They studied the photos of the Greenpeace and, based on the results, denied Russia's statements that the NPP was disconnected from the external power source due to Ukrainian shelling. According to the report, near the damaged pylon "there are no signs of carts from shells", he remains in place, and therefore the repair could be a relatively simple task.
These conclusions are contrary to the statements of the Russian operators of the station, who claimed that the restoration work was disrupted through shelling by the Armed Forces. According to the British The Guardian, the situation around Europe's largest nuclear power plant remains critical: it has been completely devoid of external energy for eight days. Reserve diesel generators are used to cool six reactors.
According to the IAEA, there are eight units in the work, nine more are ready for connection, which provides the station for about ten days. International experts view Russia's actions as a conscious attempt to create an energy crisis. Greenpeace notes that Moscow prepares the integration of the station into the Russian power system and has already built a high -voltage line from Mariupol. Earlier, the occupying power also built a dam on the underwater canal to provide water to potential reactors.
For his part, Raphael Grosssey, the head of Raphael, described what is happening as "a clearly unstable situation in terms of nuclear security. " Ukrainian sources warn that in the case of prolonged blocking of external power, there is a risk of overheating of nuclear fuel and a script similar to the Japanese NPP "Fukushima" in 2011. We will remind, on September 23 the last line of power transmission was damaged, which provided the Zaporozhye NPP with electricity from the Ukrainian power system.
