TL;DR Summary

Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, controlled by the Russian military since February 2022, lost connection to its main external power line and was switched to a reserve line, which has less than half the power capacity. The plant is on the verge of a blackout, and this situation can lead to equipment failure. Additionally, signs of a steam leak prompted the shutdown of one reactor, affecting the plant's steam production. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has been working to establish a safety mechanism for the plant.
