Dilettantes at ZNPP recruited by russians may lead to a sharp deterioration of the situation - Energoatom CEO
Kyiv • UNN
The lack of qualified specialists trained to work with the equipment at the russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant threatens to worsen the situation, as Ukrainian personnel have been suspended from work.
One of the problems that threatens to worsen the situation at the russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant is the lack of qualified personnel trained to work with the equipment of this nuclear power plant. The head of Energoatom, Petro Kotin, said this during a telethon, UNN reports .
He reminded that all Ukrainian personnel of the plant are currently suspended, even those who remained in the temporarily occupied Energodar are not allowed to work at the plant.
Now the Ukrainian staff has been completely suspended and replaced by Rosatom personnel, personnel randomly recruited there around the city of Enerhodar. And in fact, some of our personnel have moved to our territory, some of the personnel are in Enerhodar, but they are not allowed to their own workplaces. This is one of the problems that can lead to a deterioration, a sharp deterioration of the situation at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant
He also commented on the similarity of the situation at ZNPP to the scenarios that led to the accident at the plant in Fukushima, Japan.

I would like to say that this is incorrect and that this status cannot be achieved at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, but this is exactly how the Fukushima accident developed. After the earthquake, the plant's external power supply line from the Japanese grid was damaged, and then in the second wave of the tsunami, diesel generators were disabled, and the plant lost all power to the pumps that cool the fuel. After the pumps stopped, they caused a fuel meltdown at the power units. This is the situation, in fact, the beginning of this situation, and it is a constant threat at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. Because at the very beginning of the military aggression, several power lines were damaged by the actions of the racists. Now it is on one or two lines, (exactly - ed.) now on two lines. They can be damaged at any time. After that, the first stage of the accident that happened in Fukushima will actually be realized at ZNPP - when there is no external power supply and the station switches to diesel generators
The head of Energoatom reminded that the plant had already lost external power 8 times.
Recall
The head of Energoatom, Petro Kotin, has warned that all six power units of the russian-occupied Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant are reaching the end of their nuclear fuel life.
