Takanobu Fuchigami fully supports nuclear energy research and advocates for the safe restart of the city’s nuclear power plants.

    At a meeting with the mayor and journalists, the senior researcher Olena Pareniuk spoke about the occupation by Russian troops of the Chornobyl NPP in the past and the Zaporizhzhia NPP in the present, the catastrophic consequences of which are possible due to the pressure of the occupiers on the workers of the largest nuclear power plant in Europe, which is the Zaporizhzhia NPP.
