ZNPP.

This is coolbert:

More atomic power-plant stuff Ukraine within the context of the military situation.

Keep the on-site electrical-power generators at the ready!

1. "Legal Aspects of Russia’s Attack on the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant"

The article by Lt. Col Brent W. Stricker, "Small Wars Journal".

"The Russian attack on the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) on the night of 3-4 March 2022ATE] raises concerns that its damage or destruction could release radioactive material or cause a nuclear meltdown that endangers people or the natural environment. While details of the Russian action are uncertain, these same concern arose from Russian armed forces seizing the Chernobyl site"

2. "Power cut off to Chernobyl nuclear facility as evacuations resume from major cities in Ukraine"

"KOZELETS, Ukraine — As basic survival grows increasingly precarious, civilian evacuation efforts resumed Wednesday in Ukrainian cities battered by a Russian assault that shows no let-up after two weeks of relentless bombardment.

"At the same time, Ukrainian officials said the decommissioned Chernobyl nuclear power plant — the site of the world’s worst nuclear accident, in 1986 — had lost access to the power grid, forcing it to rely on backup generators.":

Cooling mechanism these nuclear reactors normally dependent on a steadly flow of electrical energy. Lose your "juice" and you must resort to on-site back-up generators. Those generators having in most cases a two-week fuel supply. Lose that cooling and you are in really big trouble!

Chernobyl multiplied many times over!
