According to Energoatom data, as of the morning of August 6, the ZNPP operated with the risk of violating radiation and fire safety regulations. Enemy strikes caused serious damage to the nitrogen-oxygen unit and the combined auxiliary building. There are still risks of hydrogen leakage and sputtering of radioactive substances, and the fire hazard is also high.
According to Enerhodar Mayor Dmytro Orlov, the Russian troops hide their weapons between the power units of the captured Zaporizhzhia NPP and could mine the territory of the plant.
If evacuation is necessary, the Zaporizhzhia NPP personnel are deprived of access to shelter as the Russians are hiding in basements from shelling by their own troops.
