Kyiv, 14/3: Ukraine’s Chernobyl nuclear power plant, the site of the world’s worst nuclear disaster in 1986, has once again lost its electricity supply, energy operator Ukrenergo said Monday.
“The line that supplies the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant and the town of Slavutych was damaged by the occupying forces,” Ukrenergo said on Facebook, referring to Russian forces that invaded Ukraine on February 24 and seized the plant in the first days of the assault.
The retired nuclear plant — enclosed in a giant steel and concrete sarcophagus — lost power early last week but supply was restored .
