All routine maintenance and repair at the facility have been stalled since the day of the invasion and a number of radiation sensors at the site remain non-operational leading to risks of system failures in the future.

The generators have a backup of no more than 48 hours following which
will stop working, and radiation leak will be imminent, a warning Ukraine's Foreign Minister reiterated on Twitter. Reserve diesel generators have a 48-hour capacity to power the Chornobyl NPP. After that, cooling systems of the storage facility for spent nuclear fuel will stop, making radiation leaks imminent. Putin’s barbaric war puts entire Europe in danger.
Director-General of the IAEA, Rafael Mariano Grossi, has expressed willingness to travel to Chernobyl or any other nuclear facility in Ukraine to secure the safety of these sites from conflict.
