They are deliberately damaging it to divert electricity production, warned Ukraine's state nuclear agency Energoatom.
Zaporozhye is the largest nuclear power plant in Europe, and Russia captured it at the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine.

"They are planning to damage all lines from the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant"

Russian forces occupying the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant in southeast Ukraine are preparing to connect to Crimea, annexed by Moscow in 2014, and are damaging it by reorienting its electricity production, Ukrainian operator Energoatom warned Tuesday.

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky on Aug. 6 accused Russia of using the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant "for terror" after the operator of the facility reported major damage at the site.

Kiev and Moscow accused each other of striking Europe's largest nuclear site on Aug. 5, causing a reactor stoppage as three grain ships departed Ukraine under a deal to avert food shortages.

The power plant is located in southeastern Ukraine, that has been occupied by Russian forces, stating that the nuclear plant is "completely out of control", reports Sky News.
The situation there is becoming more dangerous every day, he said, calling on Russia and Ukraine to allow experts to visit the complex to prevent a nuclear accident.

Russia is using Europe's largest nuclear power plant as a base to store weapons including "missile systems" and shell the surrounding areas of Ukraine, an official with Kyiv's nuclear agency has said.

The Romanian state-owned electricity company, Nuclearelectrica, thas said that small modular reactors, SMRs, coming from the US, pose no danger to the country or its environment.

SMRs are advanced nuclear reactors that produce clean energy and have a much smaller installed capacity than a large reactor, it said.

The region of Latin-American and the Caribbean has many outstanding examples in the field of confidence-building measures that may serve as good practices for other regions in the world.

Restart nuclear attack or accident public information campaigns, the experts say

Krško – Blaž Košorok, the new head of GEN Energija, a state-owned power company that manages Slovenia’s half of the Krško Nuclear Power Plant, believes a second reactor in Krško would guarantee reliable and cost effective energy supply. Energy prices will never go back to what they were, he said in an interview with the STA.
