Probably nothing serious but they had a fire on block #1 in April last year. It is still down under repair ever since.

Well, it’s not an RBMK, so that’s one less thing to worry about.

I don’t remember what the type of reactor is but considering the time the plant was built it is probably VVER.

Zaporizh NPP in Southeast Ukraine - a second most powerful NPP in the World has half of unit’s life expired years ago.
Their country rely on nuclear too much to shut it off but it takes enormous money and expertise to retrofit so they keep extending their life of paper. If they’d close all the old plants by the book it would be immediately a stone age.

Anything involving Nuclear in the former USSR should probably be considered a disaster waiting to happen.

VVER type of PWR.
Much safer than RMBK types.

Rivne-3 was granted a life extension in 2017, until 2037. Life extensions often mean many significant upgrades and proof that the systems and materials meet present standards.
