Russia considering radiation leak terrorist attack at Zaporizhzhia plant

Russia uses the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant as an element in its aggression. It occupies the plant. It uses it to cover the shelling of neighboring cities. It keeps weapons and troops there

Chernobyl at 37: Russia keeps threat of nuclear disaster alive

“For 30 years now, every night on April 26 we come here and lay flowers. I know everyone here. It was my shift at the power plant,” survivor Serhii Akulinin said. “This (nuclear disaster) is a second war for us… it was a similar situation to February 24 (when Russia invaded). I had the experience of war so I took my grandchildren to a safe place.”

Russia tries to conceal its dwindling nuclear stockpile

Russia has been seeking to keep American inspectors away. And the reason behind that is likely not Moscow's eagerness to bolster nuclear power but rather the opposite – hiding the scale of its nuclear arsenal’s reduction. The Russian nuclear stockpile has been gradually dwindling for years.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has launched an observation mission at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant.

Similar missions have previously worked at the Rivne and South Ukrainian nuclear power plants. The Khmelnytsky NPP is also under the control of Ukraine and is also waiting for representatives of the agency. In the meantime, the Zaporizhzhia NPP is under Russian occupation, but IAEA representatives have been there since September 2022.

Ministers comment on today's attack by Russia.

Dmytro Kuleba, Foreign Affairs, "For every Russian missile or drone aimed at Ukraine and Ukrainians, a howitzer, a tank, an armoured car should be delivered to Ukraine. This would effectively end Russian terror against Ukraine, restore peace and security in Europe and beyond,"

Herman Galushchenko, Energy Minister,
"As a result of today's attack on the energy system of Ukraine, 9 power generation facilities were damaged; energy producers are increasing the production of electricity at nuclear plants... We cannot supply electricity to 50% of consumers. Now, this situation is being corrected, the corresponding load of nuclear generation is already taking place, and I hope that we will be able to stabilize the situation as much as possible shortly. But one must understand that there will be emergency shutdowns today,"

There were also numerous reports of missiles hitting gas pipelines, power lines and substations before the Crimean Bridge bomb.

But Putin has never let the truth get in the way of anything that he says. Maybe the Russian people have forgotten, but we have not.

Dnestrenergo: "there is a huge systemic accident in the republic. There is no light anywhere. Everything went out. The same problems are in Moldova and throughout Ukraine."

Russian news is reporting on Russian strikes against critical infrastructure in a way that completely ignores the fact that the reason Ukrainian power is out is because of Russian rockets. It's gaslighting in the extreme. #RussianWorld #Ukraine #Energy #NuclearTerrorism #EnergyTerrorism #RussiaInvadedUkraine.

Update from Energoatom on telegram:

The Russian military has shelled the ZNPP (ЗАЕС) all through the morning with more than 12 strikes on the plant's infrastructure facilities

This morning, 20th November 2022, due to Russian shelling, at least 12 "strikes" were recorded at the Zaporizhzhia NPP site.

As a result, overpasses linking the facility to special buildings, storage tanks of demineralized water, a steam generator blowdown system, auxiliary systems of one of the two plantwide diesel engines, and other equipment of the power plant infrastructure were damaged. Three hits were also recorded in the area of the Raiduha substation. The damage and destruction there are still being assessed.

The nature of the damaged equipment shows that the attackers aimed at and disabled precisely the infrastructure that was necessary for the start-up of power units 5 and 6 and for the restoration of electricity production by the Zaporizhzhya NPP for Ukrainian requirements.

Recently, Energoatom and the State Nuclear Regulatory Inspectorate of Ukraine granted permission to bring power units 5 and 6 to a minimum controllable power level to receive steam, which is critically needed in the winter season to ensure the safety of power units, personnel, the population and the environment.

The Russian military tried in every way to prevent the Ukrainian staff of the power plant from starting up the power units. The fake director of the power plant, Romanenko from Rosatom, is relying on the Russian military, which seized the ZNPP and uses it as a military base, to block the preparation of power units for bringing them to the minimum controllable power level.

However, this was not enough for them and today the Russian military shelled and damaged the very equipment, the failure of which makes any further actions regarding the start-up of power units of ZNPP impossible.

The Russian military is arranging nuclear blackmail yet again and their actions are endangering the whole world!

Once again, we appeal to the international community to urgently take measures for the fastest possible demilitarization of the ZNPP, the withdrawal of all Russian military from the plant site and the city of Enerhodar as well as the return of the Zaporizhzhia NPP to the full control of Ukraine for the sake of the safety of the whole world!

IAEA Director General Statement on Situation in Ukraine | IAEA
https://www.iaea.org/newscenter/pressreleases/update-128-iaea-director-general-statement-on-situation-in-ukraine
Energoatom, the Ukrainian State Nuclear Energy Company, is blaming the attacks on Russia and has released the following statement:

"Once again, we appeal to the international community to urgently take measures for the demilitarization of the ZNPP as soon as possible, the withdrawal of all Russian military personnel from the territory of the station and the city of Energodar, and the return of the Zaporizhzhia NPP to the full control of Ukraine for the sake of the safety of the whole world!"

As expected, the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation blames the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Both sides claim there were no casualties.

My take on the matter is that if Russia leaves Ukraine, no one would be firing anything at anyone.
