It May Reach Europe and Even USA: How Far the Radiation May Spread, If a

Ivan Plachkov stressed that everything would depend on the volume of radioactive steam. Zaporizhzia NPP is the largest nuclear power plant in Europe operating six power generation units with the power of 1000 MW. With certain reservations, the plan potentially “may supply with power five cities as large as Kyiv”. Currently, the Russian invaders have breached seven principles of nuclear safety at NPP, although safeguard systems are still operational and intact, as the former Minister of Fuel and energy of Ukraine Ivan Plachkov said in his interview for TSN’s YouTube channel, when asked how far the radiation may spread, if a nuclear disaster happens at ZNPP. "There are multiple failure scenarios. A reactor vessel may maintain its physical integrity, although main and auxiliary equipment, including, but not limited to steam generators and pump, may fail. There are many points of potential failure, which may result in a major release of radioactive materials", he noted. Plachkov stressed that everything would depend on the quantity of radioactive stream.
