ZNPP managed to connect to a back-up power line

This is reported by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

However, Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi notes that the situation remains very fragile.

The reconnection of the 330kV line is important because for the last few months the ZNPP has been relying on a single 750kV trunk line for the external electricity needed for reactor cooling and other important nuclear safety functions. Before the conflict began in February 2022, it had four 750kV lines," Grossi said.

According to him, the ZNPP line is at 330 kV. It remains the only one of the six back-up lines. We would like to add that the standby line was severed on March 1. Work to restore the line was hampered by the difficult security situation in the southern region. ZNPP has lost off-site power supply seven times since the start of the full-scale invasion.

While the reconnection of the back-up power line is positive, the external power supply situation at the plant remains very vulnerable, highlighting the unreliable nuclear and security situation at the site," General Manager Grossi summarised.

Earlier, it was reported that the occupiers were planning a terrorist attack on the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant. The head of the GUR , Kyrylo Budanov, said that the Russians had additionally mined the plant's cooling pond. Vladimir Zelensky then said that the enemy had already developed and approved a plan to blow up the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. According to the president, the threat has never been so serious. Zelenskyy suggested that the plant might be blown up remotely after the station comes under Ukrainian control.

In this connection, Sotsportal wrote what the Ukrainian government will do if the Russians do blow up ZAES. The Ministry of Reintegration said that Ukraine was ready for any development. Therefore, Ukrainians were reminded what to have at home in case of an accident.
