I think this is a bigger risk than Putin Nukin.
Ukraine warns of nuclear disaster
Petro Kotin, the head of Ukraine's state nuclear company Energoatom, warns that the diesel generators at the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant have only a limited supply of fuel at present.
Shelling overnight knocked out power to the facility, which needs cooling to avoid a meltdown, forcing it to switch to emergency generators.
Kotin tells the BBC that they are "just working on the logistics to deliver more fuel to the generators".
- If they run out of fuel, they will stop and then there will be a disaster. There will be a meltdown of the active core and release of radioactivity from there, he says.
