Several areas of concern after Chernobyl power plant is knocked off grid

"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

Welcome to the world of nuclear-blackmail.

It's not like it was properly shut down in the 1980s. The damaged nuclear+power facility still has an ongoing chemical reaction, long after it was covered over.

Attack on Ukraine nuclear plant ‘suicidal’, says UN chief as he urges access to site

Regardless of who is all involved in any war, if certain facilities like Zaporizhzhia are damaged, various problems can easily get way out of control.

Some people want the Zaporizhzhia_Nuclear_Power_Plant to become a military-free zone.

If this power plant is ever seriously damaged, it could make the Chernobyl disaster seem like a picnic.

Although nuclear+power plants have been targets for decades, this is a little different.

A nuclear power-plant war could turn into a nuclear war, if things aren't toned down.

The Zaporizhzhia and Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plants

The Zaporizhzhia_Nuclear_Power_Plant has certainly become a hot-spot.

Of course the Chernobyl plant remains heavily damaged since the 1980s.

"Initially announced following the release of Call of Pripyat, it was planned release in 2012, before it was ultimately cancelled on the year of its intended release.^[1][2] The game resurfaced years later in 2018, with the development restarted and powered by the Unreal Engine 5, and a new release date on December 8, 2022.^[3] Due to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, development for the game has been put on indefinite hold." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.T.A.L.K.E.R._2:_Heart_of_Chernobyl

The China Syndrome, Nuclear Power-plant Meltdown Scenario

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_meltdown#China_syndrome 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_reactor_accidents_in_the_United_States#Three_Mile_Island_accident

The_China_Syndrome movie was in theaters less than two weeks before an actual power plant emergency occurred in March 1979. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0078966/?ref_=m_tttr_tt

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_China_Syndrome#Plot 

https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/the-china-syndrome-1979

https://www.nytimes.com/1979/03/11/archives/fallout-from-china-syndrome-has-already-begun-the-china-syndrome.html

"The March 1979 release was met with backlash from the nuclear power industry's claims of it being "sheer fiction" and a "character assassination of an entire industry".^[11] Twelve days later, the Three Mile Island nuclear accident occurred in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_China_Syndrome#Response_of_nuclear_industry

"When the film was first released on 16 March 1979, nuclear power executives soon lambasted the picture as being "sheer fiction" and a "character assassination of an entire industry". Then twelve days after its launch, the Three Mile Island nuclear accident occurred near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania." https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0078966/trivia/?ref_=tt_ql_trv

The overall production of a movie can take 1 or 2 years, so the release of this movie might be considered to be an example of synchronicity.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Mile_Island_accident#The_China_Syndrome For something like this to occur less than two weeks after the release of the movie, is an interesting coincidence at the very least.
