#ERCOT avoids a blackout one more time this summer. How long before luck runs out?

Safety of all of Ukraine's nuclear power plants depend on reliable grid power, so Russian attacks on electricity infrastructure have already threatened radiation leakage.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

We have just had a report from our intelligence and the Security Service of 🇺🇦.
Intelligence has received information that Russia is considering a scenario of a terrorist attack on the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. A terrorist attack with radiation leakage. They have prepared everything for this.

Unfortunately, I have repeatedly had to remind that radiation has no state borders, and who it will hit is determined only by the wind direction.

We share all available information with our partners – everyone in the world. All the evidence. Europe, America, China, Brazil, India, the Arab world, Africa – all countries, absolutely everyone should know this. International organizations. Everyone.

There should never be any terrorist attacks on nuclear power plants anywhere. This time it should not be like with Kakhovka – the world has been warned, so the world can and must act.
