Radiation Post Destruction Amid Conflict at Zaporizhzhia Plant

Ukrainian shelling has reportedly destroyed a radiation control post in Velyka Znamyanka, according to Russia's management of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. Despite this, radiation levels remain safe. The plant, seized by Russian troops in February 2022, has been a focal point of mutual accusations between Moscow and Kyiv concerning safety threats.

Ukrainian shelling destroyed a radiation control post in Velyka Znamyanka in the Zaporizhzhia region, Russia's management of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine said on Wednesday. "(Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant) specialists carried out a number of compensatory measures to control the radiation situation in the area," the management said on the Telegram messaging app.

Radiation levels, the management added, do not exceed safe levels. There was no immediate comment from Ukraine.

Russian troops seized the Zaporizhzhia plant in the early days of Moscow's invasion on Ukraine in February 2022 invasion, and Moscow and Kyiv have since routinely accused each other of endangering safety around it.
