A retired Navy nuclear commander explains that commercial reactors require power for circulation pumps and instrumentation to prevent a meltdown. The plant has been a focal point of the conflict, with both Russian and Ukrainian forces trading accusations over shelling near the facility.

While gas-fired plants suffered explosions during the recent storm, the majority of nuclear plants functioned safely or shut down as a precaution. Thorium is presented as a sustainable alternative that can reuse waste as fuel, despite public fears stemming from events like Fukushima.
