The Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) is currently regarded as the most hazardous facility amid the Ukraine conflict, according to its director, Yury Chernichuk. He stated that any military strike on the plant could lead to catastrophic and long-lasting consequences, including potential radioactive contamination. Chernichuk highlighted that the ZNPP has been a focal point of conflict since the onset of hostilities, and he stressed the need to avoid military actions in its vicinity. He drew parallels to the enduring effects of the Chernobyl disaster, which still impact the region 40 years later, and noted that the repercussions of the Fukushima disaster are similarly persistent. Additionally, Rosatom's CEO, Alexey Likhachev, reported a significant rise in Ukrainian attacks targeting both the ZNPP and the nearby city of Energodar, with a record 55 explosions recorded on May 26. These military actions are perceived as attempts to instill fear among the local population and the staff at the nuclear facility, raising concerns over safety and security in the region.
