Kylsystemen i Tjernobyl förlorar ström mitt i låg risk för smältning

Svenska

Ett elavbrott har stört kylsystemen vid Ukrainas Tjernobyl kärnkraftverk och väckt oro för potentiella strålrisker. Experter bedömer dock smältningsrisken som extremt låg på grund av det åldrande lagret av bränsle. Internationella atomenergiorganet övervakar situationen noga.

Tjernobyl kärnkraftverk, platsen för katastrofen 1986, drabbades av ett strömavbrott som stoppade kylsystemen för använt bränsle. Avbrottet beror på ryska militära attacker mot ukrainska elstationer, enligt Internationella atomenergiorganet (IAEA). IAEA:s generaldirektör Rafael Grossi skrev på X: «IAEA följer utvecklingen aktivt för att bedöma påverkan på kärnsäkerheten».
