🇷🇺 Breakthrough of the dam of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station - what will happen to the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant: expert commentary

There is a person among my acquaintances who is very well versed in the matter. And I asked him to make a comment, what could be the consequences for the Zaporozhye NPP of today's breakthrough of the dam of the Kakhovskaya HPP.

Here is the original text:

"At the Zaporozhye NPP, the spent fuel pools and the reactor in the MCU mode (minimum controlled level) are cooled from special" splash "pools, they are located on land and are clearly visible from the satellite. There, water circulates in a closed circuit, gradually evaporates from heating by the sun and it is simply topped up (not from the river).

The cooling pond is separated from the Kakhovka reservoir by a dam and has a couple of gates for "receiving" or "draining" water (depending on the level difference).

The pond is large, I don’t remember a single case when in the summer there was a decrease in the power of the blocks due to the high water temperature in the pond. The pond is divided by a partition into 2 parts, so that water can be taken from one place, and the water that has passed through the turbine condensers can be drained to another. Water "walks" around the ring and cools.

In any case, the Zaporozhye NPP will operate only with the 5th and 6th blocks for the time being, and this pond will definitely be enough for them.

If there is a problem with water, one or more plastic pipes will reach the place where there will still be water in the reservoir and this will be enough to solve it. In this case, you just need to compensate for evaporation and leakage in the reservoir."

🇷🇺🇺🇦 The strike of Ukrainian troops on the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station was allegedly delivered from the Alder MLRS, the administration of Nova Kakhovka told RIA Novosti

🇺🇦🇷🇺 The enemy does not stop shelling the dam

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Footage of the embankment of the Park of Glory in Kherson. The water rose about a meter from the average level of the Dnieper.

🇺🇦🇷🇺 Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station is completely destroyed, cannot be restored - "Ukrhydroenergo".

🇮🇷 Iran has officially joined the club of hypersonic powers with the introduction of the advanced Fattah missile.

The declared range of the product is 1400 kilometers. Fattah has high speed, increased maneuverability and is able to overcome the resistance of modern air defense and missile defense systems. Israel has a lot to think about. As the war in Ukraine shows, modern Western air defense systems are not very relevant against hypersonic missiles.

Well, if Iran becomes a full-fledged nuclear power, such a missile can be equipped with a tactical nuclear warhead, if Iran has the appropriate technology.

🇺🇦🇷🇺⚡️Half of the spans of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station have already collapsed, the collapse continues - emergency services

🇺🇦🇷🇺 The counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will begin in the coming hours, Poroshenko said
▪️Ex-president of Ukraine Poroshenko said in an interview with Corriere della Sera that during the validity of the Minsk agreements he managed to arm the country.
▪️He called the Ukrainian army "the best negotiator" and said that the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (APU) will begin in the coming hours.

🇺🇦🇷🇺 Before the Kakhovka dam was blown up, Western analysts *admitted* Ukraine had the motive - NOT Russia.

Now they're trying to erase these facts from the internet.

They have to pretend the war crime was ordered by Putin, not Zelensky.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 The RF Armed Forces regained control over the settlement. Novodonetskoye in the Ugledar region. The enemy retreated after suffering significant losses.
