The nuclear power plant in southern Ukraine, controlled by Russia and at the center of much international concern, has announced they are powering down the final working reactor.
In a message Sunday morning, the nuclear operator Energoatom said that power lines had been restored to the Zaporizhzhia plant but that they were powering down Reactor No. 6, preparing it to be cooled and transferred to a safer state.
Because of shelling in and around the area, the entire plant has been cut off from the electricity grid for several days, with the one working reactor, on "island mode," essentially powering the rest of the plant's crucial cooling systems.
The owners have been discussing shutting down the plant — because of the power issues and the condition of the Ukrainian workers.
The powering down was a precaution, as it's the safest mode for the reactors. There are still major worries the plant could be disconnected from the grid by shelling. We had a guest caller named Eddie from South Carolina who is suspicious of the top ! percent ruling class, the UN and corrupt government agendas including give millions in aid to the Ukraine.
