Summary
After the fire at the Zaporizhia Nuclear Plant, officials said that all the workers of the plant are safe and the radiation level is also normal. During this, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Russia of resorting to nuclear terror.
Now Ukraine’s nuclear plants are also being targeted in Russia’s attacks. On Friday (March 4), Russian firing caused a fire in Ukraine’s Zaporizhia power plant, after which there is panic all over the world. Actually, the possibility of spreading nuclear radiation from here has increased. Also, electricity supply in Ukraine has also been disrupted. Apart from this, Ukraine claims that Russia has also captured the Zaporizhia Power Plant. In this special report we know that how many power plants are there in Ukraine? How many of them are working and how many are supplying electricity. At the same time, what will be the effect on the people of Ukraine due to the fire at Zaporizhia Power Plant?
According to the information, there are a total of four nuclear plants in different parts of Ukraine in Zaporizhia, Rivn, Khmelnetsky and South Ukraine, from which 15 nuclear reactors are operated. According to a report released on February 1, all of Ukraine’s nuclear reactors were working and supplying power to the electrical grid. However, six out of 15 nuclear reactors stopped working after the Russian attack, causing a severe power outage in Ukraine. At the same time, nuclear plants are under construction in Kharkiv, Odessa, Crimea and Cheyrian. Nuclear analyst James M. Aston at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace pointed out that in general, nuclear plants are not designed as war zones. This is the reason why Ukraine’s nuclear reactors are constantly being targeted due to Russia’s attack.
Significantly, Russia is constantly targeting energy producing cities of Ukraine. Most Russian forces had stormed and captured the Chernobyl plant. However, this plant was closed for a long time. After this, the Zaporizia plant was attacked on Friday morning, due to which there was a fire. The Russian army has also captured it. Apart from this, the Russian army has also started taking control of the cities of Odessa and Mariopol. These two cities produce a quarter of Ukraine’s electricity.
After the fire at the Zaporizhia Nuclear Plant, officials said that all the workers of the plant are safe and the radiation level is also normal. During this, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Russia of resorting to nuclear terror. Also, said that Putin wants to repeat the Chernobyl accident of 1986. If there is an explosion, everything will be over. Europe will end.
The Zaporizhia Nuclear Plant, located 550 kilometers southeast of the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, supplies a quarter of Ukraine’s electricity needs. According to the information, Russian forces opened fire on the Zaporizhia plant on Friday morning, causing a fire there. The plant was constructed between 1984 and 1995. It is the largest nuclear plant in Europe, which is ranked ninth in the world. The plant has a total of six reactors, which supply a total of 5700 MW of electricity. That is, 950 MW of power is supplied from one reactor. If you look at the figures, this power plant supplies electricity to about 4 million homes across Ukraine. In normal times, the plant produces one-fifth of Ukraine’s electricity supply and about half of the energy generated from the country’s nuclear power facilities.
