But the incident has highlighted the possible dangers of warfare around nuclear sites, Grossi and others say. Ukraine has 15 working nuclear reactors, which ordinarily produce roughly half of its electricity. With six reactors and a capacity of nearly 6 gigawatt, Zaporizhzhia is the largest nuclear power plant in Europe. It is now occupied by Russian forces, as is Chernobyl — the site of the worst nuclear accident in history.
Koji Okamoto, a nuclear safety researcher at the University of Tokyo, agrees. “The containment structure may have a resistance to normal weapons,” he says.
