Officials at the site of the world's worst nuclear accident announced plans Monday to sell scrap and other equipment from the Chernobyl nuclear plant, saying the government was not giving it enough money to continue operating.
Plant spokesman Viktor Kapusta said authorities hoped to raise the funds by selling things like pumps to maintain the ongoing operations such as monitoring radiation levels. He called the decision a "forced measure," saying the federal government owes the plant $3.2 million.
