Petro Kotin, CEO of Energoatom, declared that restarting the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, currently under Russian occupation, would be unsafe without resolving major issues. These include inadequate cooling water, a shortage of personnel, and unstable power supply. The plant's future is crucial to peace negotiations in Ukraine. Kotin indicated Ukraine might need up to two years to ensure a safe restart post-conflict, while any Russian restart during warfare is deemed impossible due to heightened risks. The operational safety hinges on completing multiple safety programs, highlighting severe concerns about the plant's current state.
Kotin emphasized that restarting the Zaporizhzhia plant in the current environment poses significant threats, citing insufficient cooling systems and a lack of trained personnel.
He warned that a Russian attempt to restart the plant during wartime is impossible due to safety concerns and ongoing military threats, raising broader questions about its operational viability.
