The Russian force controlled the Zaporizhzhia factory in southern Ukraine in March, but the facility was still operated by Ukrainian technical staff.

Many recent shelling occurred around the Zaporizhzhia factory area, raising concerns about the risk of a nuclear incident similar to the chernobyl disaster in 1986. Russia and Ukraine accused each other.

Currently only one of the 6 reactors of the factory is operating, because the remaining ovens are closed after shelling or in the repair process.
