Zaporizhzhia NPP Control
Russian forces are constructing fortifications along supply routes to the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant and attempting to integrate the facility into the Russian power grid, with a confidence level of Medium-High.
Assessment
Russian forces are constructing fortifications along supply routes to the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant and attempting to integrate the facility into the Russian power grid, with a confidence level of Medium-High. The intentions behind these actions and the potential risks to nuclear safety are key uncertainties. Ongoing Ukrainian drone strikes are causing operational delays to the integration efforts.
Why it matters — The situation at the Zaporizhzhia NPP has significant implications for regional stability and nuclear safety, given the potential for catastrophic consequences in the event of an accident or intentional disruption.
