Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Plant in Kyiv switches to reserve power line
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.
