"Without power, the ‘parameters of nuclear and radiation safety’ cannot be controlled, authorities warn"
"Scientists have warned there are “several areas of concern” after the decommissioned Chernobyl nuclear plant in Ukraine was knocked off the power grid.
Authorities said the outage could put systems for cooling nuclear material at risk. The cause of the damage to the power line serving Chernobyl was not immediately clear. The plant, the site of the world’s worst nuclear disaster, is currently under the control of Russian troops." https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/chernobyl-nuclear-plant-ukraine-russia-latest-b2032037.html
