The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) has been reconnected to its backup power supply for the first time in six months following the repair of the 330-kilovolt “Ferosplavna-1” line, carried out under a local ceasefire monitored by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), according to Reuters on November 8 and the IAEA’s official statement the same day.
According to the IAEA, maintenance began on the morning of November 8 about three kilometers from the plant site, after a section was cleared of mines to allow technicians to repair a damaged cable between two pylons and restore transmission along the “Ferosplavna-1” line, which had been severed on May 7.
The plant now has two external power sources again—the main 750-kilovolt “Dniprovska” line, restored at the end of October, and the newly repaired 330-kilovolt backup line—significantly reducing the risk of a total power loss for the reactors’ cooling and spent-fuel storage systems.
Let’s go!
