Kyiv • UNN
In the context of war, the restart of the Russian-held Zaporizhia nuclear power plant can have unpredictable and dangerous consequences. The head of the UN nuclear surveillance agency warned about this after a meeting with Russian officials.
Перезапуск Запорізької атомної електростанції в Україні, яку тимчасово утримує рф, є безпечним. Голова служби ядерної ООН Рафаель Гроссі мав зустріч з представниками росії, за результатами якої чиновник висловив стурбованість, передає УНН із посиланням на "Скай Ньюс".
The restart of the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine, which Russia receives, will be dangerous as long as the war continues around it,
According to Sky News, last week Grossi held a meeting with representatives of the Russian Federation on ZAES. The meeting came after officials and Vladimir Putin told the official that Moscow wanted to restart Europe's largest nuclear power plant.
Of course, they have an idea - to restart at some point. They do not plan to decommission this nuclear power plant. This is what encourages discussion of this issue

As of now, six ZAES reactors have been shut down for safety reasons on the recommendation of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
recall
Earlier UNN reported that the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant was again on the verge of de-energization, since only one Power Line connects it with the Ukrainian energy system. Energoatom reminded that since the beginning of the Russian occupation, Zaporizhia NPP has already experienced eight full blackouts and one partial one with the launch of emergency diesel generators and security systems.
