The Russian occupiers at the Zaporizhzhya NPP provoked an environmental disaster. The actions of the Russians will lead to the sea of ​​thousands of tons of fish.

 This is reported by "Energoatom".

 As a result of the shutdown of the NPP power units, warm water does not enter the cooling pond. Due to this, the water temperature dropped to about +13 degrees.

 Energoatom explains that two types of fish live in the pond - thermal water therapy and Asian catfish, which were introduced about 25 years ago to ensure environmental cleanliness. The fish perform a certain 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, fish multiplied. So if the water temperature in the cooling pond does not rise in the near future, about a thousand tons of dead fish will be washed ashore," the report says.
