Russia And Ukraine Trade Blame Over Outages At Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Plant

The fate of the massive nuclear power plant in the crosshairs of Europe’s
largest war in decades has made for worrisome headlines since Russia
launched its large-scale invasion of Ukraine nearly 18 months ago.

As fighting intensifies not far from the plant, fears of a disaster have not
abated. On August 10, the main power line delivering electricity to the
Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant was disconnected twice, forcing it to rely
on its last remaining off-site power line. The main line was reconnected by
evening. In the meantime, though, Ukraine’s energy minister raised the
prospect of a meltdown.
