TL;DR Summary

The last operating reactor at Europe’s largest nuclear power plant, the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine, has been put into a “cold shutdown” due to flooding caused by the collapse of a nearby dam and shelling near the site. Five out of six reactors are already in a state of cold shutdown. The Ukrainian nuclear agency, Energoatom, said there was “no direct threat” to the plant. Ukrainian officials reported at least four deaths and damage to a military airfield as Russian forces continued to attack the country with missiles and drones.
