ukraine russia war The power grid at Ukraine’s closed Chernobyl nuclear plant has been damaged and power has been supplied by emergency generators. Officials gave this information. The grid operator has said that only 48 hours of fuel is left in the diesel generator for cooling the system. This is also dangerous because there is a risk of radiation from the plant if power supply is not restored soon. On the other hand, Ukraine has demanded ceasefire from the Russian army.
The world’s worst nuclear tragedy occurred at the Chernobyl nuclear plant. A state-run news agency has said a power outage could threaten the nuclear plant’s cooling material. The cause of the damage to the power supply line to Chernobyl is not yet clear. The site has been under the control of Russian troops since last week.
Ukraine’s grid operator Ukranerho has said electricity supplies to all Chernobyl plants have been cut and diesel generators have fuel for 48 hours, according to the national nuclear regulator. The regulator said “nuclear and radiation safety parameters” cannot be controlled without electricity.
Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmitro Kuleba said the electricity supply grid had been damaged and called for a ceasefire to allow repairs.
