Overview
- A localized ceasefire brokered by the IAEA took effect Friday near the Zaporizhzhia nuclear site to allow work on the damaged 330 kV Ferosplavna-1 line.
- Demining and preparatory tasks began Friday, with technicians expected to start repairs Saturday under the IAEA team’s on-site monitoring.
- The goal is to reconnect Ferosplavna-1 within days to reestablish two external power routes alongside the 750 kV Dniprovska line restored on October 23.
- Ferosplavna-1 was severed six months ago, and an October repair attempt was delayed after additional damage was found outside the original ceasefire zones.
- All six reactors remain shut down, yet stable cooling still requires external electricity after a month-long blackout that ended two weeks ago.
