A fire at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant has been put out.
The fire started when a projectile hit a training building near one of the plant’s reactors, the agency said. The incident heightened concerns about vulnerabilities at Ukraine’s nuclear facilities during Russia’s invasion. This is the first time war has broken out in a place so heavily reliant on nuclear energy.
so that they no longer supply power to the grid. Shutting them down lowers the amount of energy and water needed to keep them cool.. But every reactor, including those that have been shut down, still needs juice from the grid or some other external power source to run their cooling systems. If a nuclear power plant’s cooling systems go down, there are still several safety nets that would need to fail before a catastrophic fuel meltdown. It might be able to rely on diesel generators or portable water pumps, for example, to keep the reactors safe. But that will also depend on how accessible the site is throughout fighting and fire.
