We have never seen a war break out in a region with functioning nuclear reactors — and Ukraine has 15. This spells potential armageddon for Europe, argues LINDA PENTZ GUNTER
Even should all of Ukraine’s reactors be shut down, they still need power to cool the reactor core as well as the fuel pools. The pools are arguably a greater radiological danger as they are not housed within the protective containment building with the reactors and would release even more radioactivity if hit.

A CRISIS of potentially global proportions looks to have been averted at the massive six-reactor nuclear power plant site at Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine. But the threat of a nuclear emergency is far from over.
As fire engulfed one of the plant buildings on March 3, Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, warned we could be facing “the end of Europe.” The country’s foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba said that an explosion at Zaporizhzhia “will be 10 times larger than Chernobyl.” They are right.
There is good reason to be gravely alarmed. Never before in our history has a war broken out in a region where there are operating nuclear power plants.
