Ceasefire Enables Power Line Repairs at Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Plant

Power line repairs have commenced near Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant following a ceasefire brokered by the IAEA. The repairs, monitored by an IAEA team, are crucial to preventing a nuclear accident amid the ongoing Ukraine conflict. Director General Rafael Grossi reported on the progress.

Power line repairs started near Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant after the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) facilitated a local ceasefire, the agency announced on Sunday.

IAEA reports highlight that a dedicated team is monitoring the ongoing repairs, which are anticipated to take a few days to complete.

The initiative forms part of a broader effort to avert potential nuclear accidents during the Ukraine conflict, according to Rafael Grossi, the IAEA's Director General.
