ソース Chernobyl ‘cut off from grid by Russians’, sparking fears over cooling of spent nuclear fuel https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/ukraine-chernobyl-nuclear-power-plant-outage-b2031874.html Ukraine’s state power operator has warned that Russian forces have disconnected the Chernobyl nuclear plant from the grid, sparking fears over the cooling of spent fuel. Energoatom said radioactive substances could be released into the air if power is not restored. Work to repair the connection, which has been occupied by Russian troops for several days, has not been possible because fighting is under way, it said.
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 has said. The nuclear power plant "was fully disconnected from the power grid," it said in a statement on its Facebook page, adding that military operations meant "there is no possibility to restore the lines".
