Explosions shook Europe’s largest power plant over the weekend and Russia and Ukraine are both blaming the other side.
Rockets landed in the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant on Saturday night, landing near dry spent-fuel storage facilities. Energoatom, Ukraine’s nuclear energy company that is nominally in charge of Zaporizhzhia, has been reporting on the attack via its Telegram channel. It said the attack in the facility landed near 174 casks, each with 24 assemblies of spent nuclear fuel. According to Energoatom, two workers were injured by shrapnel in the attack and have been hospitalized.
