Is Europe prepared for nuclear catastrophe at Zaporizhzhia?: Attacks on Europe's largest nuclear power plant in southeastern Ukraine remain worrying.

euronews.com/2024/04/16/is-europe-prepared-for-nuclear-catastrophe-at-zaporizhzhia

Quick Glance: Reviving a Decommissioned Nuclear Plant

With a financial support of $1.52 billion from the US Department of Energy, an inactive nuclear power plant in Michigan may receive a new opportunity. If successful, this would mark the first instance of a closed nuclear power plant reopening in the US.

After 50 years of operation, the Palisades nuclear power plant was decommissioned in 2022. The process of reopening presents technical, administrative, and regulatory challenges. However, the new owners have been working on the plans for years, which facilitates the potential restart.

Securing funding and approvals is crucial for the revival of the nuclear power plant. State support and a substantial federal loan are intended to cover the necessary repairs and upgrades. Yet, regulatory approval remains a significant hurdle in the reopening process.

In the event of approval, Palisades aims to operate until at least 2051. The growing support for nuclear energy and increased financing make older facilities more profitable. Nevertheless, a wave of reopenings for other decommissioned nuclear plants in the US is unlikely.

Zelenskyy to US: Iran’s attack on Israel is ‘wake-up call’ to fortify America’s allies

Quick Glance: The Night Iran's Missile Show Rattled Israel

In Tehran, 'Operation True Promise' launched an unprecedented aerial assault on Israel.

The direct clash between powerful militaries showcased Israel's defense and Iran's display of power.

Despite minor damages and injuries, the question remains whether this attack signifies further escalation or the start of a war.

The missile and drone strikes resulted in minimal damage, with Israel and allies successfully intercepting most projectiles.

Quick Glance: Russia Aims to Capture Chasiv Yar by 9 May

Ukraine's top commander stated that Russian forces aimed to capture the town of Chasiv Yar by 9 May, marking a crucial battle for control of high ground in the east where Russia is directing its assaults.

The potential fall of the town before the Soviet Victory Day would signal increasing Russian battlefield momentum amid a slowdown in Western military aid to Kyiv.

Kyiv's brigades are currently holding back the assaults near Chasiv Yar and have received reinforcements in terms of ammunition, drones, and electronic warfare devices.

Recent escalations in the war have raised concerns about the resilience of Ukraine's energy system, with Russia conducting significant air strikes on Ukrainian power plants and substations.
