Situation at Zaporizhzhya NPP: what is known
On September 2, 2024, due to Russian shelling, one of the two external overhead lines through which the temporarily occupied Zaporizhzhya NPP receives power from the Ukrainian power grid to meet its own needs was damaged.
Now watching
— If it is damaged, an emergency situation will arise due to the loss of external power to the pumps cooling the reactor cores and fuel storage pools of Zaporizhzhya NPP, — Energoatom notes.
Ukrainian specialists cannot yet inspect the damaged area and begin repairing the line, since there is a real threat of repeated shelling of the site by Russian troops.
The line will be repaired as soon as specialists are guaranteed safety.
Currently, Zaporizhzhya NPP is connected to the Ukrainian energy system by only one power transmission line, Energoatom emphasized.
Recall that this week, the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Rafael Grossi was supposed to visit Ukraine to hold high-level talks and assess the situation in Zaporizhzhya NPP.
