A chance of a nuclear disaster at the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) exists, Rosatom CEO Alexey Likhachev told reporters.
"We are informing the international community that the plant is at risk of a nuclear disaster and Kyiv clearly believes that a small nuclear incident would be acceptable," Likhachev said.
“However, radiation won’t ask Kyiv what kind of incident it wants. It will be a precedent that will change the course of history forever,” the CEO added. “So everything possible needs to be done to make sure that no one can even think of damaging the security of nuclear power plants.”
Earlier, the Russian Defense Ministry reported that the Ukrainian Armed Forces had resumed shelling attacks on the Zaporozhye NPP after a two-month break.
According to the ministry, Ukrainian forces fired 25 munitions at the facility during 19-20 November, with one of them hitting the roof of Special Building No 2, where nuclear fuel is stored.
The attackers were suppressed by return fire, and radiation levels remain normal around the power plant, the ministry added.
