Vienna, January 17 (Xinhua) — A local ceasefire agreed upon by Russia and Ukraine will allow repairs to begin on the damaged backup power line at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP), the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said in a statement on Friday.
Technical specialists from the Ukrainian power grid operator will begin repair work in the coming days on the 330 kV line, which was damaged and disconnected following military action on January 2, the statement noted.
Meanwhile, a team of IAEA specialists traveled to the front lines to monitor the repair work. Currently, the Zaporizhzhya NPP relies on a single functioning 750 kV main power line.
"The IAEA continues to work closely with both sides to ensure nuclear safety at the Zaporizhzhya NPP and prevent a nuclear accident in the context of the conflict. This temporary ceasefire, the fourth one we have agreed upon, demonstrates the indispensable role we continue to play," IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi said in a statement.
Zaporizhzhya NPP, one of the largest nuclear power plants in Europe, has been under Russian control since March 2022. –0–
