Russia's Nuclear Problem - Joe Blogs

Russia has admitted that the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant — Europe’s largest — has once again lost its external power supply after fighting severed the last high-voltage line. The plant is now relying on emergency diesel generators to keep its reactors cooled and prevent meltdown.

In this video, we’ll look at:

• How Zaporizhzhia lost its power lines
• Why cooling systems are vital for nuclear safety
• What could happen if cooling is lost
• How this compares to past disasters like Chernobyl

This is Russia’s nuclear problem — and it could have consequences far beyond Ukraine.
