Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant Radiation Monitoring Station Damaged in Drone Attack by Ukraine
On the 22nd local time, the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant announced that a radiation monitoring station located about 13 kilometers from the plant was damaged after being attacked by a Ukrainian drone.
The report indicated that this monitoring station is part of the radiation environment monitoring system surrounding the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. Currently, the existing monitoring equipment and capabilities can maintain normal monitoring, and the shutdown of one monitoring station has not caused a disruption in radiation monitoring, with no direct radiation safety threats detected so far.
The nuclear power plant stated that the damage to the monitoring station will weaken the ability to quickly collect radiation data in the relevant area. If similar facilities are further damaged, the ability of professionals to quickly obtain and assess radiation data during an emergency may be affected.
