Moscow says Russia must control nuclear plant, but open to working with US

Russia is ‍ready ‍for international cooperation over the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, including with the United ⁠States.

However, the facility must be under Russian control, said Alexei Likhachev, head ‍of ⁠the state nuclear corporation Rosatom.

The six reactors are not in operation, and the plant ‌relies on external power to keep its nuclear material cool ‍and prevent a catastrophic accident.
