Russian Telegram channels are spreading false information about an alleged power transformer accident at the South Ukraine NPP, supposedly causing the shutdown of nuclear power units, SPRAVDI wrote.
The Center noted that Russia's information-psychological special operation suggests possible issues with American Westinghouse nuclear fuel at Ukrainian NPPs, but this is not true.
The agency, citing Energoatom, reports:
→ Ukrainian NPPs, including South Ukraine NPP, are operating without technical violations and in normal mode;
→ Personnel at the stations ensure reliable operation of the facilities;
→ The radiation situation at the South Ukraine NPP is within normal limits.
They also note that American Westinghouse fuel is successfully used at nuclear power plants and has proven to be "excellent" in all parameters.
