Local ceasefire comes into force for ZNPP power line repairs – IAEA
Another, seventh local ceasefire brokered by the IAEA has come into force following a long pause to ensure repairs to a power transmission line and restore external power supply to the Zaporizhia NPP.
A local ceasefire has taken effect to allow repairs to a power transmission line and restore external power to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. The ceasefire was brokered by the International Atomic Energy Agency.
The Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant has been without external power since August 20 and has relied on emergency diesel generators to cool its vital safety systems. According to Business Recorder, the plant is running low on diesel fuel reserves.
Ukrainian technicians will carry out the power line repairs after demining the area. The IAEA brokered a seventh local ceasefire to facilitate the repairs.
