Localized ceasefire in effect to enable repairs to Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, IAEA says

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.
