@ArmsControlWonk Oh I can’t wait for them to be deployed and abandoned somewhere in Luhansk for Ukraine and the West to dismantle and study.

@HN_Schlottman Great image. Nitpick though: should have a solid background on the text boxes. Easier to read without city/country names behind blocks of text

@rloewe65 @proudCanadavet Exactly, though I'd expect the investigation by the ICJ to potentially include the seizure of Chernobyl and Zaporizhzhia, however. Whether Russia is still a signatory to the additional protocols or not, due to the risks to civilians and infrastructure.

Per the Geneva Convention (12 August 1949), Article 56 subsection 1: Attacking a nuclear power facility is a violation of the Geneva convention. https://t.co/tYiGfwndd3

What I am unsure of is this: why attack Zaporizhzhia NPP at all? If the goal is to simply cut power, the Russian forces could have just neutralized the two substations.

@ArmsControlWonk The camera is on the Laboratory building behind administration, it was just zoomed in to crop out the foreground buildings. Though, the feed is offline now.

@Kenindfw @ArmsControlWonk Sorry, 3 of 6. English is escaping me.

[Charles Jenkins @Jenkins_C4]

@Kenindfw @ArmsControlWonk Right. And it looks like per this tweet by James Acton, 3 of 3 were in some form of operation and connected to the grid while the other 3 were in some form of shutdown.

Short thread on the dangers of the fire at Zaporizhzhya NPP.

As of 8am this morning, according to Ukraine's regulator, three of six reactors were connected to the grid; the other three were offline. However, ALL the units will need cooling if they have any fuel inside. (1/n)
