Archival photoSIMFEROPOL, Sep 11 New shelling of the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant could damage the dry storage facility for nuclear fuel waste, said Volodymyr Rogov, chairman of the «We are with Russia» movement, a member of the main council of the administration of the Zaporozhye region. Earlier, the regional authorities announced the shutdown of the last operating 6th power unit of the nuclear power plant. The so-called «cold stop» mode is applied. The decision was made due to the fact that the Kyiv authorities intentionally fired on and disabled the power lines supplying the nuclear power plant, and also did not accept the energy generated at the nuclear power plant, artificially blocking the flow to the right bank of the Dnieper. «Stopping the nuclear power units does not guarantee its safety. If If the Kyiv authorities continue shelling the nuclear power plant, this may lead to damage to the open areas of the dry storage of spent nuclear fuel,» Rogov told RIA Novosti. During the special operation, the Russian military took control of the Azov part of the Zaporozhye region and the entire Kherson region, occupying like Kherson, Melitopol and Berdyansk, and cutting off Ukraine from the Sea of Azov. New administrations have been formed in both regions, Russian TV channels and radio stations are broadcasting, trade and transport links with Crimea are being restored. The regions announced their plans to become part of Russia.
