❗️As a result of the hostile actions of the occupiers, the Chernobyl nuclear power plant was completely de-energized. Fighting is currently underway, making it impossible to repair and restore power. The city of Slavutych is also de-energized
All nuclear facilities in Chernobyl have been left without electricity. About 20,000 wasted fuel assemblies are stored in the spent nuclear fuel storage facility. They need constant cooling, which is impossible without electricity
If they are not cooled down constantly, the temperature in the storage pools will rise, resulting in evaporating and release of radioactive substances into the environment. The wind can transfer a radioactive cloud to other regions of Ukraine, Belarus, Russia, and Europe
⚠️Chernobyl NPP will be connected to backup diesel generators. This will provide power to its facilities for the next 48 hours
After that, the cooling system of the wasted nuclear fuel storage will be turned off. This will lead to radiation leakage, — Minister of Foreign Affairs
