Quote: "The occupiers are constantly strengthening security on the territory of the station, and the number of posts has increased, which indicates that they feel insecure. 

It is known that a part of the station has recently fallen under the control of the Kadyrov gang – SOBR unit Akhmat, which placed equipment and weapons directly in turbine halls №1 and №2."

Details: The National Resistance Centre has also reported that Russia is trying to connect ZNPP to its power system as soon as possible.

The occupiers are hastily carrying out measures to convert the spent nuclear fuel storage system at the ZNPP to Russian standards, as well as to adapt all nuclear reactors of the ZNPP to use Russian fuel assemblies. Currently, four out of six nuclear reactors of the ZNPP operate using fuel assemblies of the American company Westinghouse Electric Company, which was carried out as part of Ukraine’s independence from Russian raw materials for our NPPs.

Previously: On October 14, a worker of the ZNPP said that his colleagues were threatened with dismissals unless they signed employment contracts with Rosatom, the Russian state-run company that runs all nuclear power plants there.
