Mapping the Russian military threat to Ukraine’s nuclear reactors and facilities<\/h2>\n\n

The invasion of Ukraine by Vladimir Putin\u2019s military poses an unprecedented nuclear threat, with the country\u2019s 15 commercial nuclear reactors at risk of potentially catastrophic damage. An attack or even an accident at any of these plants could render vast areas of the European continent, including Russia, uninhabitable for decades.<\/p>\n\n

This interactive, regularly updating map (also available to view full screen<\/strong><\/a>) displays the locations of Ukraine\u2019s nuclear power plants as well as their proximity to Russian military forces at fixed time intervals since Russian forces entered Ukraine on 24 February 2022. Using publicly-sourced information to track the movement of Russian military forces, the map makes clear the vulnerabilities to Ukraine\u2019s nuclear plants as a consequence of the Kremlin\u2019s illegal invasion. <\/p>\n\n
