replies: text: yeah, I think that is incorrect and should be changed. A countries military controlling a site is not the same as that site now being located in that country. --1234567891011a (talk) 19:59, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

message: The phrasing bringng Tobias Münchmeyer into attention seems to be unneeded. I'm fairly certain plenty of people have expressed concerns that the site would be shelled by artilleri and as such, it is quite uninteresting that anyone in particular did so. This seems to be placed there, to bring attention to specific people and organizations. 89.239.195.102 (talk) 16:24, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

message: There really ought to be a section on safety systems telling what types (active, passive, etc.) and how many, especially with Russia playing with things that go "Boom".  Given when it was built and by whom, I'm not optimistic that it was constructed with robust safety, but just as the U.S.' Hanford site added safety systems as time went on these plants could have as well.
I'm going to pursue an avenue of information that may or may not pan out, and may or may not provide linkable source material, so I hope others will jump in with whatever is known.  I suspect it has back-up generators on-site in case of plant power failure, which would probably be diesel, but it's got to have a lot more than that! Dismalscholar (talk) 20:44, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

message: @Ermenrich Hello, why do you keep reverting the statement contrasting the statements of president Zelenskyy in relation to the position of Russian forces near the power plant? Reliable sources tell us that the plant was occupied by Russia in March – on 8 August, some 5 months into the Russian occupation of the plant, Zelenskyy accuses Russia of shelling the plant, then on 13 August, he revises his accusation, instead stating that Russia was "stationing their troops on the site of the plant to launch attacks on Ukrainian forces". WP:NPOV prescribes representing information "fairly, proportionately, and, as far as possible, without editorial bias", which, in my view, is not a principle being fully upheld when we omit a straightforward contrast of the two contradictory accusations.

text: The source provided didn't say there's a contradiction. Find a reliable source which says this. Until one is provided, the assumption there's a contradiction rests on your personal analysis, or by combining sources to come to a conclusion they don't make themselves. Jr8825 • Talk 01:51, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: There are various RS that say that Russia appears to be shelling from the plant, including The NY Times, as well as that Ukraine accuses Russia of launching false flag attacks on the plant and its surroundings. There is no contradiction, and frankly, given all the other things Russia has done and is doing in Ukraine, it does not seem unlikely that they would try to shell the plant and blame Ukraine.—Ermenrich (talk) 02:04, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

text: It does seem contradictory that Russia stations troops at the station and wants to connect it to its grid and at the same time stages false flag attacks there. However I also agree with User:Jr8825, unless RS call it a contradiction we can't use these words. We should just state the facts and let the reader decide. Alaexis¿question? 09:42, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

text: , the IAEA is referring to contradictions between the statements made by Russia and Ukraine, not Ukraine's statements being contradictory among themselves: . The only person claiming a contradiction in Zelensky's statements is the Russian ambassador to the UN, and even then we'd need a reliable source rather than the raw notes of the meeting to cite it as notable (Russia always claims everything Ukraine says is a lie).--Ermenrich (talk) 20:08, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: OK understood. Agree there's no RS for that claim. Separately there were reports of a pylon 'falling over'. https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2022/08/11/7362814/ and other pylons in Kursk https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russia-says-ukrainian-sabotage-behind-pylon-blasts-southern-kursk-region-2022-08-16/ - I don't think we use Pravda.

message: Please revert Special:Diff/1108435446. The previous text seemed well sourced and claims were correcly attributed to their source, don't think wp:fringe really applies here, left alone the 'typical Russian bullshit' argument, if it may be called so. On the other hand I find that recent events are taking a large part of this article, so a separete article may be needed, this would be probably best left for a separete discussion.176.247.167.36 (talk) 00:17, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

replies: text: Yes, I should pay more attention.

message: It's mentioned in the "Facilities" section that there are 750kV transmission lines out of the plant, and specifically that one goes north over the reservoir and another one (most recently built) "south-westward to the Kakhovska substation." But, where do the other two go? It is also worth a mention on this article about which of these lines has been disconnected from the grid during the crisis, where that disconnection is claimed to have happen, and when it happened.

replies: text: You need a IAEA reference. Ukraine has reason to say certain things for its war effort. Here is the real statement that comes without the insinuation of ill intent. "The IAEA is aware of reports of mines having been placed near the cooling pond. No mines were observed at the site during the Director General’s visit, including the cooling pond. However, the IAEA is aware of previous placement of mines outside the plant perimeter, which the Agency has previously reported, and also at particular places inside - which security personnel at the plant explained were for defensive purposes. “Our assessment of those particular placements was that while the presence of any explosive device is not in line with safety standards, the main safety functions of the facility would not be significantly affected.". https://www.iaea.org/newscenter/pressreleases/update-167-iaea-director-general-statement-on-situation-in-ukraine Liger404 (talk) 01:59, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
