> **Russia has started installing a “protective dome” over the nuclear waste storage at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant,** an official said on Saturday.
> 
> **Zaporizhzhia, Europe’s largest and one of the world’s 10 biggest nuclear power plants, has been under Russian control since March, soon after the start of the Ukraine war.**
> 
> Fears of a nuclear catastrophe persist amid reports of shelling around the area.
> 
> Vladimir Rogov, a pro-Russia official in Zaporizhzhia who heads the We Are Together movement, said **work is underway to put up a “protective dome” over the plant’s storage site for nuclear waste.**
> 
> ***“For now, it will protect against shrapnel and IEDs (improvised explosive devices) dropped from drones. In the future, it will be more substantial,”*** he wrote on Telegram.
> 
> In a separate statement, ***Russia’s state-owned nuclear operator Rosenergoatom also announced the start of construction to set up a “safety cushion” to shield the nuclear waste storage site.***

> **The construction of the dome comes amid continued attacks on the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant and the nearby town of Energodar,** which Moscow blames on Kiev. Russia has repeatedly said that such strikes could result in a nuclear disaster that would eclipse the 1986 Chernobyl incident and affect many countries in Europe.
> 
> **Ukraine initially claimed that the Russian military had been hitting the plant itself as part of “false-flag” operations to make Kiev look bad. However, Ukrainian general staff eventually admitted to striking the area around the nuclear facility.**

**The admission was just a statement of the obvious.**
