Europe’s largest nuclear plant shuts down after a Russian attack

morning of March 4th, after a night of heavy fighting, Russian forces took control of Europe’s largest nuclear power plant: Zaporizhzhia in southern Ukraine. The fighting had started a blaze which teams of firefighters scrambled to put out. There is no evidence of damage to the plant’s six reactors, which in normal times supply a fifth of Ukraine’s electricity. When the Russians attacked only three of the six reactors were operating. The two close to the fighting were shut down in response. Now just one is running at 60% capacity.
