Pemadaman listrik mengganggu sistem pendingin di Pembangkit Listrik Nuklir Chernobyl Ukraina, menimbulkan kekhawatiran tentang risiko radiasi potensial. Namun, para ahli menilai bahaya pelelehan sangat rendah karena kondisi bahan bakar tersimpan yang sudah tua. Badan Energi Atom Internasional sedang memantau situasi dengan cermat.

Pembangkit Listrik Nuklir Chernobyl, lokasi bencana 1986, mengalami pemadaman listrik yang menghentikan sistem pendingin bahan bakar bekasnya. Gangguan ini berasal dari serangan militer Rusia terhadap gardu listrik Ukraina, seperti dilaporkan oleh Badan Energi Atom Internasional (IAEA). Direktur Jenderal IAEA Rafael Grossi menyatakan di X: «IAEA sedang mengikuti perkembangan secara aktif untuk menilai dampak terhadap keselamatan nuklir».
