The possible commissioning of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant by Russia is absurd. There are no licensed personnel to start up the plant in the occupied ZNPP, and the self-activity of Russian specialists can lead to a nuclear incident. The civilized world must prevent the occupiers from implementing such a scenario, — said Minister of Energy of Ukraine Herman Galushchenko.

Only Ukrainian specialists, who are not allowed by the occupiers to work at the ZNPP, have the appropriate license to operate the station.

Galushchenko also emphasized a number of significant technical problems at the occupied ZNPP, in particular, the expiration of the terms of use of nuclear fuel and the lack of sufficient volumes of water for the operation of the reactors.
