After the breach of the Kakhovka dam in the Kherson region, the safety of theZaporizhzhia nuclear power plant might be in trouble, if latest reports are to be believed.
The cooling pond at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant is in danger of collapse as a result of the destruction of the Kakhovka dam and the draining of its reservoir.
Without the reservoir on the other side to counteract it, the internal pressure of the water in the cooling pool could breach the Dyke around it, a report by the Paris-based Institute for Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety has said.
The IRSN report suggests that the integrity of the Dyke around the pond could be in danger of collapse even without Russian sabotage.
However, the loss of the pool would not necessarily be catastrophic as other sources of water could be brought in, such as pumping trucks, to prevent a meltdown of the plant’s nuclear fuel, but a loss of the cooling pool would dramatically increase safety concerns at the plant.
Since the collapse of the Kakhovka dam this past Tuesday, its reservoir has been draining into the Dnipro River and the Black Sea… and will soon drop below the water intakes quantity used to pump water.
There are an array of spray ponds that are used to cool the reactor cores and spent fuel at the site… and the much bigger cooling pool is usually used as a water reserve.
After the latest posts by Parineeti Chopra and Raghav Chadha, it is a fair assumption to make when one says that their wedding rituals were not quite conventional. The bride and groom wore their sneakers, gathered their relatives and made a sports day of it with musical chairs, lemon and spoon race, three-legged race, cricket and a World Cup cricketer.

This was the most important and most visible signs of Russian influence in Ukraine. But now, the references to Russian influence are gone after Ukraine purged one of its tallest statues of the Russian influence. The towering Mother Ukraine statue in Kyiv — one of the nation’s most recognizable landmarks — lost its hammer-and-sickle symbol yesterday as officials replaced the Soviet-era emblem with Ukraine’s trident coat of arms. the figure held a sword in her right hand and a shield in her left. Originally, the shield bore the Soviet Union’s coat of arms – a crossed hammer and sickle surrounded by ears of wheat. But now, the Soviet Union’s coat of arms has been replaced with Ukrainian’s. Erected in 1981 as part of a larger complex housing the national World War II museum, the 61-meter Mother Ukraine monument stands on the right bank of the Dnieper River in Kyiv, facing eastward toward Moscow. Created in the image of a fearless female warrior, the statue holds a sword and a shield. But now, instead of the hammer-and-sickle emblem, the shield features the Ukrainian tryzub, the trident that was adopted as the coat of arms of independent Ukraine on Feb. 19, 1992. Workers had begun removing the old emblem in late July, but poor weather and ongoing air raids delayed the work. The completed sculpture will be officially unveiled on Aug. 24 — Ukraine’s Independence Day. The revamp also coincides with a new name for the statue, which was previously known as the “Motherland monument” when Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union.
