Emergency Repair for Ukraine Nuclear Powerplant

Ukraine's power plant since 1984, needs repairs.
In Southeastern Ukraine new repairs had to be reinstalled into the nuclear power plant after one of the circuits shorted out and destroyed the power output of the system. There has been no threat of any leak of radiation, and is considered under control. Some reasons for the recent issues can be because of the low temperatures and increase in power throughout Ukraine. Also, an imbalance of emergency repair energy units has been the major reason why there was power in these areas. This caused an inadequate amount of the coal supply in the power plants warehouse was issued. The repairs should be completed by December fifth, latest.

This territory of Ukraine is controlled by the government in Kiev. Only125 miles away is the major city of Donetsk, which have been experiencing month’s long battles between Pro-Russian forces  and Ukrainians. Also, 325 miles away from Zaporizhya is the uninhabited area of Chernobyl's power plant. In the 1980's had its nuclear reactor explode. This set off radiation in the atmosphere and ultimately affected nine million people, and killed 4,000 clean-up workers.
