A large-scale technogenic accident at the South Ukrainian NPP almost occurred in Ukraine. According to the SBU, local officials saved on equipment for the nuclear power plant, which jeopardized the security of the facility. "Officials deliberately purchased counterfeit electrical equipment for systems that are important for the safe operation of the nuclear power plant," the press service of the ministry. Thus, officials supplied the installation of a power supply cable that did not meet the requirements of the rules and standards of nuclear and radiation safety. By their actions, they created a potential threat of an emergency of a man-made nature, the SBU stressed..
