Ukraine’s nuclear power firm warned Sunday that rocket attacks on the site of Europe’s largest nuclear power plant risked a “nuclear disaster” as the governments of Russia and Ukraine traded blame for the explosions at the facility.
KYIV, Ukraine — For days, experts have warned that intensive fighting around the Zaporizhzhia plant in southeastern Ukraine posed a grave threat, but purported strikes on Saturday near the plant’s spent-fuel storage facility prompted even more alarm.
“The administrative buildings and the adjacent territory of the storage facility were damaged,” it said in a statement given to Interfax news. The shelling also damaged radiation-monitoring sensors at the facility, and wounded at least one worker, Ukraine’s state nuclear power firm Energoatom said. According to the company, damage to technology at the facility meant that “timely detection and response in the event of a deterioration in the radiation situation or leakage of radiation from containers of spent nuclear fuel are not yet possible,” it said.
