Overview
- The Ukrainian technical team has started fixing the Ferosplavna-1 330 kV backup line, with IAEA experts monitoring on site.
- The 330 kV link was damaged by military activity on Jan. 2–3, leaving the plant dependent on its sole 750 kV main line for external power.
- IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi said this agreement constitutes the fourth localized ceasefire arranged to enable safety work at the site.
- The agency says restoring the backup supply is crucial to maintaining stable operations and is also preparing a mission to inspect 10 key power stations tied to nuclear safety.
- Control of the plant remains disputed in U.S.-mediated talks, and Kyiv rejects a reported joint-operation proposal as conferring legitimacy on the Russian occupation.
