Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant

The State Emergency Service reports a stable radiation situation in Ukraine as of 00:00 on August 12. No changes have been detected near Zaporizhzhia NPP, no man-made radionuclides have been detected. Monitoring is ongoing.

IAEA experts observed heavy smoke at ZNPP after the explosions in the evening. The plant's team reported a possible drone attack on the cooling tower, with no impact on nuclear safety.

As of 10:30 p. m., no changes in the radiation situation in the vicinity of ZNPP were recorded. The Minister of Internal Affairs reported on the enhanced monitoring of the situation and the operational work of the Ukrhydrometeorological Center posts near the plant.

President Zelenskyy reported a fire on the territory of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, set by the Russian occupiers. He emphasized that the situation cannot be normal while the plant is under Russian control.

The head of the Nikopol district administration reported that Russians may have set tires on fire in a cooling tower on the occupied bank of the Kakhovka reservoir. This could be a provocation or an attempt to create panic, but ZNPP is operating normally.

The occupants attacked 9 settlements in Zaporizhzhia region using aircraft, drones and artillery. Three air strikes, 24 UAV attacks and 143 artillery shellings were recorded, and residential buildings and infrastructure were damaged.

The Ministry of Energy reports a stable situation in Ukraine's energy system. Due to the hostilities and technical disruptions, 485 settlements remain without power supply, and power companies have restored power to 5,592 consumers.

The occupiers attacked 12 settlements in Zaporizhzhia region using aircraft, drones, MLRS and artillery.

The IAEA reports on forest fires near the occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant that threaten its external power supply. The fires were observed under the overhead cables of two power lines supplying the plant.

The mayor of Enerhodar reported the presence of about 1,000 Russian troops at the plant. The plant lacks qualified personnel, and 6 reactors are in a state of cold shutdown.

The Ministry of Energy reports a stable situation in Ukraine's energy system. Due to the hostilities and technical disruptions, 482 settlements remain without power supply, and power companies have restored power to 14,728 consumers.

The IAEA reports a decrease in the water level in the cooling pond at Zaporizhzhya NPP. The agency's Director General Rafael Grossi expressed concern about the nuclear safety of the plant.

The fighting caused power outages in Donetsk, Kharkiv and Kherson regions. Power companies have restored power to 3,277 consumers, but 484 settlements remain without electricity.

The Ministry of Energy reported that there will be no scheduled power outages today. 486 settlements remain without power supply due to the hostilities and technical disruptions. Power companies have restored power to 10,664 consumers.

The Ministry of Energy reported that there will be no scheduled power outages today. Due to technical problems, there were temporary power outages in several regions, but the power supply has been restored.

The Ministry of Energy has announced plans to apply blackout schedules from 18:00 to 23:00. The shelling damaged power facilities in Dnipropetrovs'k and Donetsk regions, leaving 478 settlements without electricity.

IAEA experts continue to hear explosions near Zaporizhzhia NPP. Equipment is being serviced, but access to parts of the plant is limited.

The Deputy Minister of Energy refuted the myth about Ukraine's electricity exports. Due to the destruction of 9 GW of generating capacities, the country imports electricity to cover domestic needs.

Russian troops attacked an energy facility in northern Ukraine. Due to the lack of capacity, power outage schedules are applied, and 507 settlements are left without electricity.

Power engineers have completed scheduled repairs and reloading of nuclear fuel at one of the NPP units ahead of schedule and connected it to the grid to strengthen the stability of Ukraine's power system in a difficult period when nuclear power covers more than half of the country's energy consumption.

Our ability to monitor the radiation situation around Zaporizhzhya NPP has decreased, as 4 out of 14 stations outside the perimeter of the plant are currently not working, which deprives Ukraine and the world of up-to-date and truthful information about the radiation situation at Zaporizhzhya NPP and the surrounding areas, Korikov said.

Due to Russian attacks and the summer heat, Ukraine is facing electricity shortages, introducing hourly blackout schedules and receiving electricity imports from 5 countries and emergency aid from the EU.

Eight employees of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant were injured as a result of drone strikes near the plant, one of whom needed medical attention, resulting in an oil leak and damage to the power substation.

The blackout schedules are in effect throughout the day amid a shortage of electricity, with emergency aid from the EU the day before and significant imports planned for today. Due to the weather, there are blackouts in two regions. In Donetsk region, 280 workers were trapped underground in a mine due to a power outage, and they have been brought out.

President Zelenskyy met with the President of the 78th session of the UN General Assembly, Dennis Francis, in Kyiv. This visit is the first in almost 30 years.

More than 190 settlements in 4 regions are without power due to the weather. Blackout schedules are in effect throughout the day. Significant electricity imports are planned, and emergency aid from two EU countries was received the day before.

Ukraine's Energy Minister discussed with the U. S. side strengthening the resilience of Ukraine's energy system to Russian attacks, increasing electricity generation capacity, and protecting energy facilities.

Due to new enemy shelling and bad weather conditions, several regions experienced power outages, requiring emergency electricity supplies from Poland, Romania and Slovakia, with hourly blackout schedules in place throughout the day.

Due to the shelling and fire, ZNPP lost communication with an external radiation monitoring station located 16 km away, which further reduced its ability to detect radioactive releases during emergencies.

The Russian occupation forces have turned the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant into a military facility and are exporting unused equipment to the Russian Federation.
