KYIV, Ukraine — Power has been entirely cut to the Chernobyl power plant, site of the world’s worst nuclear disaster in 1986, and its security systems, Ukraine’s energy operator Ukrenergo said Wednesday.
The plant “was fully disconnected from the power grid,” Ukrenergo said in a statement on its Facebook page, adding that military operations meant “there is no possibility to restore the lines.”
“Reserve diesel generators have a 48-hour capacity to power the Chornobyl NPP. After that, cooling systems of the storage facility for spent nuclear fuel will stop, making radiation leaks imminent,” tweeted Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba.
