Russian attack forced two nuclear power plants to reduce energy production: security threat.

Ukrainian nuclear power plants reduced electricity production

According to inkorr.com: According to the report from the International Atomic Energy Agency, the Khmelnytsky and Rivne nuclear power plants were forced to cut electricity production due to an attack by the Russian Federation.

The IAEA emphasized that the attack targeted a substation critical to the nuclear safety of both operational nuclear power plants.

According to the agency, 'the two operational nuclear power plants - Khmelnytsky and Rivne - were forced to reduce electricity production following a nighttime attack on a substation that is crucial for nuclear safety.'

Call for support for nuclear safety

IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi responded to this incident, urging 'restraint to support nuclear safety and avoid accidents with serious radiological consequences.'

However, Grossi again did not name Russia as the aggressor and the culprit for the attack on critical infrastructure that directly threatens nuclear safety.

As a result of Russia's attack on the power plants, Khmelnytsky and Rivne nuclear power plants in Ukraine have once again come under threat, forced to reduce electricity production. The IAEA emphasizes the importance of supporting nuclear safety and the need to avoid accidents with radiological consequences, while at the same time not indicating Russia as the aggressor in this situation.

This incident highlights the ongoing risks faced by nuclear power plants in Ukraine amid the conflict. The situation is critically important, as the country's nuclear safety depends on the stability and protection of the infrastructure that ensures its operation.
