Overpass damaged at Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, risk of radiation, fire safety standards violation - Energoatom

This is reported by Energoatom. 

As of the morning of August 21, the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant operates with the risk of violating radiation and fire safety standards. Periodic shelling of the Zaporizhzhia NPP by Russian troops with anti-aircraft missiles caused a serious risk to the safe operation of the plant.

The day before, as a result of shelling, one of the overpasses through which personnel go from the special buildings to the power units was damaged, and the windows of the building were broken.

"Ukrainian personnel of the station continue to work and make every effort to ensure nuclear and radiation safety, as well as to eliminate the consequences of damage. The Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant is still occupied and controlled by the Russian military. Considering the fact that the actions of the invaders cannot be predicted, the threat to the physical safety of the station remains", Energoatom said. 

Currently, the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant continues to operate and produce electricity for the needs of the domestic power system.
