The capture of Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant by Russian forces in March immediately sparked fears that the world could face another nuclear disaster on the scale of the Chernobyl explosion almost 40 years ago.
Ukraine's Ambassador to the U.S. Oksana Markarova stressed that shutting down the reactor was a forced decision for her country,"not a complete resolution."
"There's a smaller thing, which is munitions hitting stored radioactive materials," he said,"and there's a bigger one, which is a series of mistakes, which are reinforced by a system which doesn't encourage transparent communication," which was illustrated by the Chernobyl meltdown.
