This was reported by CNN with reference to a letter from the US Department of Energy. 

It is noted that the United States has its own secret nuclear technologies at the Ukrainian Zaporizhzhia NPP, temporarily occupied by the Russian forces. On March 17, 2023, Washington sent a letter to Rosatom warning not to touch them.

The products, software and technologies are subject to U.S. export controls and the threat of their potential use by the Russian Federation undermines U.S. national security.

"It is unlawful under United States law for non-authorized persons, including, but not limited to, Russian citizens and Russian entities, such as Rosatom and its subsidiaries, to knowingly and willfully access, possess, control, export, store, seize, review, re-export, ship, transfer, copy, manipulate such technology or technical data," the letter to Rosatom reads.

 

Official Washington confirmed the information about the warning. 

 
  • On April 13, a Russian mine exploded near the engine room of Unit 4 at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. The Russian invaders themselves claimed that their munition had detonated.

  • On April 14, it became known that Russian troops were preparing to block the personnel at the temporarily occupied ZNPP due to the counteroffensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
