Defunct plant, which needs constant management to prevent another nuclear disaster, has stopped transmitting data
Power has been entirely cut to the Chernobyl power plant, site of the world’s worst nuclear disaster in 1986, and its security systems, Ukraine’s national energy operator, Ukrenergo, said Wednesday.
The plant “was fully disconnected from the power grid”, Ukrenergo said in a statement on its Facebook page, adding that military operations meant “there is no possibility to restore the lines”.
