After nearly a week offline, the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant in southern Ukraine resumed receiving electricity from the country’s power grid, the International Atomic Energy Agency, the UN nuclear watchdog, said on Sunday . The restoration came after engineers finished repairing a high-voltage line damaged by shelling.
While the return of power is a positive development, the facility itself remains in a precarious state near the front lines in southern Ukraine. Even though shelling in the plant’s vicinity has waned in recent days, Rafael Mariano Grossi, director-general of the agency, said in the statement that it continues farther afield.
