IAEA Ceasefire Opens Window for Power Line Repairs Near Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Plant

The work seeks to restore a link with the nearby thermal plant to reduce the risk of a nuclear incident.

Overview

  • The IAEA said repairs began after a locally negotiated "window of silence" paused fighting near the site.
  • An IAEA expert team is on the ground monitoring the operation and verifying safety measures.
  • The repairs target a key transmission line connecting ZNPP switchyards with the Zaporizhzhia Thermal Power Plant.
  • The work is expected to continue for several days under the temporary ceasefire near the Russian-occupied facility.
  • Director General Rafael Grossi said restoring this link strengthens nuclear safety by stabilizing external power supply.
