TL;DR Summary

Russia plans to relocate around 3,100 Ukrainian staff from the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant in southern Ukraine, which is occupied by Russia, according to Ukraine's atomic energy company. The move could lead to a "catastrophic lack of qualified personnel" at the plant, which is one of the 10 biggest nuclear plants in the world. The evacuation plan covers roughly half of the plant's 6,000 employees and is prompted by fears of a Ukraine counteroffensive in the area. The fighting near the plant has fueled fears of a potential catastrophe like the one at Chernobyl.
