Rogov reported damage to the ZNPP cooling system due to shelling



The cooling system of the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant was damaged as a result of shelling by the Ukrainian military, said Volodymyr Rogov, chairman of the We Are Together with Russia movement.

“The cooling system, transformers, open switchgear are broken. They want to make it impossible to exploit it,” he said on Wednesday on the air of Radio Russia (quote according to TASS). Damage to the cooling system was also reported the day before. The shelling, according to local authorities, was carried out using high-explosive fragmentation shells, no one was injured.

During a special operation in Ukraine, the Russian military took control of part of the Zaporozhye region, including Energodar, where the largest nuclear power plant in Europe, the ZNPP, is located. The IAEA mission arrived at the territory of the Zaporozhye NPP on September 1 due to regular shelling from Ukraine.

On September 6, the IAEA published a report on the results of its mission to the ZNPP. The organization called for an end to attacks on the station and the establishment of a safe zone around it. At the same time, experts did not specify who was shelling the object. The report also says that several events have been recorded at the ZNPP since the spring that violate the principles of nuclear safety, and that members of the delegation themselves witnessed the shelling.
