Ukraine warns of a risk of collapse of the Chernobyl nuclear plant sarcophagus If Russia strikes the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant or an area nearby, the protective structure over the site could collapse, said plant director Serhii Tarakanov. According to him, even a strike near the facility could cause a minor earthquake, leading to serious consequences. In February 2025, a Russian drone hit the outer shell of the New Safe Confinement (NSC) at the Chernobyl plant, causing a fire and leaving a hole in the structure.
