Millions of Russians in the south of the country were left without electricity on Tuesday after a power unit at the Rostov nuclear power plant was shut down due to a malfunction.
The Rostov nuclear power plant supplies power to the Russia's entire Southern Federal District, and rolling power outages affected residents of Russia's Krasnodar Territory, Rostov region, Sevastopol, and Crimea, the Black Sea peninsula illegally annexed by President Vladimir Putin from Ukraine in 2014.
Russia's state-owned energy group Rosatom said one of the nuclear power plant's four power units was shut down due to a malfunction of the turbine generator.
"The reasons are being investigated; the radiation background is normal," a Rosatom representative told Reuters on Tuesday.

Russia was also hit by widespread power outages earlier this month after a Ukrainian drone barrage struck the country's Kursk, Belgorod, and Bryansk regions.
Kyiv's drone attacks left 90 percent of the Belgorod region, which borders Ukraine, without electricity and water, Telegram channel Mash, which says it is linked to Russia's security services, reported on July 1.
Ukraine's Energy Ministry said at the time that about 90 percent of the Belgorod region, including the cities of Belgorod and Stary Oskol, was without electricity.

It was invincible to any weapons system that was available when it was designed in 1990.
Down to reporting power outages... mytery-meat dog$**t?
What is the cost of lies?
The Newsweek article? Russians are having a hard time perfecting nuclear energy.
Every Russian problem is a neocon operation?
Some of the women are nice.
“Every Russian problem is a neocon operation?”
Since every American ‘problem’ to the Left is a Russian Disinformation Project, then your answer is YES.
“The Newsweek article? Russians are having a hard time perfecting nuclear energy.”
You might want to see what Rosatom is doing around the world. Outside of China, they have about 80% of the market. So it seems most of the world considers them competent.
Obviously the Western Media doesn’t bother telling us any of this.
Please explain why so many so-called conservatives are fans of Russia.
Ordinary Russians are mostly powerless s they ought to be used to it.
Ukraine is without power because their electrical grid was taken out as an act of war by pinhead Putin.
No power....but PLENTY OF LIGHT!!!
Zeeper Freepers are a laugh.
Trump will cut Zelensky off at the knees when it comes to American Tax Dollars.
I looked back at Marcus recent comments.
Not one comment was made about the attempted killing of Trump.
“Ordinary Russians are mostly powerless s they ought to be used to it.”
Tell me about it. They outproduce us in just about every form of military hardware, and they do it WITHOUT ELECTRICITY. Incredible!!!
(and people wonder why we’re getting our asses kicked by the Russians in Ukraine, even with NATO manning their missiles)
Are you being serious?

Russia dominates nuclear power supply chains — and the West needs to prepare now to be independent in the future
"There were 439 nuclear reactors in operation around the globe in 2021, and 38 of them were in Russia, an additional 42 were made with Russian nuclear reactor technology, and 15 more under construction at the end of 2021 were being built with Russian technology.
Russia owned 40% of the total uranium conversion infrastructure in the world in 2020, and 46% of the total uranium enrichment capacity in the world in 2018, according to the report."

OMG.......😅🤣😂😂🤣😅
Look at that little turd!!!!
Most zeepers are acting very erratic in the last few days.
Maybe it’s the fact that there is only a very small chance that the demented potatoe will stay in the W.H.
To make it even worse, Trump selected J.D. Vance as his running mate.
Heads are exploding in zeeperland.
That's not what he's here for...
“...illegally annexed...” Yeah, this is Newsweek. That opinion had nothing to do with the issue. But, since they are part of the Ukraine supporting MSM they gotta throw that in.
