Chinese Premier Li Keqiang pointed out through a large amount of data in the government work report last Thursday (March 5) that the economic and social development in 2022 has many tasks and challenges, which will require hard work to achieve.

In the end, the fire did not spread to the six nuclear reactors of the nuclear power plant, but only damaged the training center located on the edge of the building.

After the conflict, the Russian army seized control of Zaporozhye and allowed the Ukrainian technicians of the nuclear power plant to continue working.

Two of the plant's three reactors currently generating electricity have been shut down as a result, while the other continues to operate at a lower capacity.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) later confirmed that the nuclear power plant's core equipment was not affected and that radiation levels were normal.
