Ukraine’s state nuclear agency Enerhoatom has warned against an increasing risk of fire and radiation due to the shelling of the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant.
“The Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant is operating at risk of violating the norms of radiation and fire protection,” the agency said on Telegram, following an attack on the site on Saturday.
Shelling the previous day damaged a nitrogen plant and an auxiliary part of the power plant, dpa news agency quoted Enerhoatom as saying.
“There remains a risk of hydrogen leaking and radioactive particles dispersing, and the risk of fire is also high.”
