Ukraine’s Zaporizhia nuclear power plant, Europe’s largest, which is under Russian occupation, has been reconnected to the power grid after yesterday’s disconnection, the operator, Ukraine’s Energoatom, announced.
“One of the reactors of the Zaporizhia plant that had stopped operating yesterday was reconnected to the power grid today,” Energoatom announced on Telegram, assuring that the safety systems are working normally.
The reconnected reactor “produces electricity for the needs of Ukraine. It is on the way to increasing its power,” Energoatom clarifies.
“Employees of the Zaporizhia station are real heroes who guarantee the nuclear safety of Ukraine and the whole of Europe,” the statement also said.
Ukraine announced yesterday that the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant had been “completely disconnected” from the power grid “for the first time in its history” after power lines were destroyed.
The Zaporizhia station includes six reactors of 1,000 megawatts each. It has been under Russian occupation since March.
For several weeks now, Moscow and Kyiv have blamed each other for shelling the zone, raising fears of a nuclear holocaust.
The UN called for the creation of a demilitarized zone around the nuclear plant and for a mission of international inspectors to be allowed access.
An inspection mission from the International Atomic Energy Agency IAEA is expected at the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant “next week,” energy minister adviser Lana Zerkal said today, according to Ukrainian media.
