Nuke plant could be on brink of disaster: Zelenksyy as reactors shut down
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has warned of a potential disaster at the besieged Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant in southern Ukraine, after a power outage forced an emergency shutdown of two of the plant’s reactors.
“I want to stress that the situation remains very risky and dangerous,” Zelensky said in his Friday night video address. “Any repetition … will once again bring the power plant to the brink of disaster.”
Zelensky also reiterated his call for a team of international experts to inspect the plant and for the Russian troops occupying the facility to withdraw, dpa news agency reported.
