The consequences of the criminal activities of the occupiers at the Zaporizhzhia NPP lead to an environmental disaster. As reported by Energoatom, the occupiers at the ZNPP provoked an environmental disaster. Their actions destroy an important ecological component of the station's work.
"As a result of the stoppage of the power units of the station, warm water does not reach the cooling ponds of the ZNPP, as a result of which the water temperature dropped to about +13 degrees," the report says.
This led to the mass extinction of fish in the pond. Now the pond is stocked with two types of fish - warm water tilapia and Asian catfish, which were introduced about 25 years ago to ensure environmental cleanliness.
The fish perform a sanitary function, destroying green algae and keeping the cooling tubes of the turbine condenser clean. Under favorable conditions, when the temperature in winter never fell below +18 degrees, the fish multiplied. the shore will throw out about a thousand tons of dead fish.
