Fighting has stopped near the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant and radiation levels are normal as a fire continues at the facility, a plant spokesman said on Friday.
Andrii Tuz said the plant did not sustain any critical damage, although only one power generation unit out of six is operational.
In a Facebook post, Tuz said at least one power generating unit at the plant was hit in the fighting. “A lot of technical equipment was hit,” he told CNN.
Ukrainian officials said firefighters were unable to access the nuclear plant as they were met with weapons.
The Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant is the largest in Europe and supports a fifth of the total electricity generated in Ukraine. The nuclear power plant has six units in total, the first being connected to the electricity grid in 1984 and the sixth connected in 1995.
