The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) announced the reconnection of the Ferosplavna-1 backup line to the Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP).
“The 330 kV Ferosplavna-1 back up line was reconnected to Ukraine’s ZNPP at 19:17 local time today after successful repair work was carried out by Ukrainian technicians under an IAEA-brokered ceasefire,” the message posted on X reads.
IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi said reconnecting the line, damaged since January 2, was a critical step for nuclear safety.
As reported, the International Atomic Energy Agency has secured agreement between Ukraine and Russia for a local ceasefire to repair the backup power line to the Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Plant.
