Shelling Again Knocks Europe’s Biggest Nuke Plant Offline

Ukraine's energy secretary warns: "World is once again on the brink of nuclear disaster"

  • Shelling directed at or near the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power has been going on for several week, in Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
  • Each side blames the other for the shelling, in a war that is now nearly 7 months old.
  • The most recent shelling, Ukraine says, has brought down the plant’s last transmission line and it cannot be fixed anytime soon.
  • Members of the International Atomic Energy Agency recently visit the plant, but Ukrainian Energy Secretary German Galushchenko said Monday the majority of the mission has left.
