MELITOPOL, November 8. /TASS/. The Zaporozhye nuclear power station is safe after repairs on two high-voltage lines, and the radiation background is normal, Director Yury Chernichuk said.
"At the moment, the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant is in a safe condition, the limits of the safe operation conditions are not violated. The radiation background at the industrial site in the sanitary protection zone, in the observation zone, is within the normal range," he said in a video posted on ENTV TV channel’s Telegram.
