Expulsion of Enerhoder
– People are leaving Enerhodar and other towns near the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant; The reason for this is growing tension around Europe’s largest nuclear power plant, which is occupied by Russian troops, the BBC radio and television broadcaster reported today.
A video posted by the station on its website shows a column of cars stretching for kilometres; It was explained that everyone in these vehicles was leaving Enerhoder.
On Saturday, Ukrainian military intelligence announced that Russian invaders were planning to open fire on the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant from self-propelled artillery with a Ukrainian flag.
The BBC was able to speak to an engineer at the Zaporizhzhia power plant. The potential threat, he said, is not the same as what happened at Chernobyl in 1986, but what happened in the wake of the 2011 earthquake and tsunami at the Fukushima nuclear power plant. Then the reactor lost its cooling capacity, the reactor’s hermetic zone was disturbed and radioactive material leaked out..
– The world cannot do anything in this situation – said the employee of the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant, who wished to remain anonymous.
