Together they supplied 51 percent of the country's electricity in 2020, as per IAEA. Out of 15, six of the reactors are at Zaporizhzhia, on the edge of Enerhodar, a city in southeastern Ukraine about 140 miles from Crimea, the peninsula Russia annexed in 2014. It lies on the war's front line, on the Russia-controlled left bank of the Dnieper River; Ukrainian troops control the opposite side of the river. Zaporizhzhia's reactors began operating between 1984 and 1995. Together, they can produce 5,700 megawatts of electricity at full capacity. The plant is a huge source of nuclear power for Ukraine: Before the war, it produced a fifth of Ukraine's electricity and nearly half of its nuclear energy. Tar SEC eee es (TTWGRED) TIMES Save for Later Current Events Fears of a nuclear incident have taken hold ever since Russian forces occupied it in March. Russia and Ukraine have each accused the other of attacking the site. International concern mounted in early August, when Russia and Ukraine traded blame for shelling on Zaporizhzhia that damaged parts of the plant. RTO neeSorat What is the Worst that can happen? A Nuclear Meltdown Meltdowns occur when fuel in a reactor isn't being adequately cooled. Uranium in fuel rods can then melt and, if there are leaks in the containment building, cause radiation to be released into the environment. The prospect of a nuclear accident holds particular resonance in Ukraine, the site of the 1986 Chernobyl disaster that led to the evacuation of hundreds of thousands of residents and sent radioactive material across Europe. Nuclear plants rely on electricity to keep cool - and Zaporizhzhia's external power supply has already been damaged by shelling. i AAT hasan hee LdREUeaoM EICH | .

Soon, a fresh treaty called the Treaty of Purandar (1776) was concluded and the Bombay government agreed to give up the cause of Raghunathrao. The treaty of Surat was approved by the Directors and Hastings wanted to continue his alliance with Raghunathrao. Within a few months, the allies suffered a crushing defeat at Telegaon. The English were forced to make an unconditional surrender and sign a humiliating convention to with- draw forces from Bengal, at Wadgaon in 1779. Hastings soon repudiated the disgraced convention, continued the war and came out successful. By the treaty of Salbai, the first Anglo-Mysore war came to an end in 1782. www.worldtimesinstitute.com.pkQUIZ Inequality: ae A.
