Vienna, October 19 (Xinhua) – Technical work to restore external power supply to the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) began on Saturday, according to a statement from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
On Saturday morning, after demining, repair work began on two cables of the 330 kV Ferrosplavna-1 line, which was disconnected from the Zaporizhzhya NPP on May 7.
The statement said that after several weeks of difficult negotiations, Russia and Ukraine agreed to an IAEA proposal to establish temporary ceasefire zones around two specific locations on opposite sides of the front line to allow expert teams to restore recently damaged power lines.
Later this weekend, repair work will begin on the damaged section of the 750 kV Dneprovskaya line, which was disconnected on September 23, resulting in a complete loss of external power supply to the Zaporizhzhya NPP.
The statement said both facilities are located several kilometers from the Zaporizhzhya NPP. Repairs are expected to take about a week.
"Both sides are constructively engaging with us to achieve this goal. There is a shared understanding that the current situation is of absolutely no benefit to anyone," IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi said in a statement.
