At Zaporizhzhya NPP the disconnected power supply line "Dniprovska" has started operating

The high-voltage power supply line "Dniprovska" at Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP), which was earlier disconnected by the action of automation, has been put back into operation. About it on Saturday, November 23, reported in the Telegram-channel of the station.

"At Zaporizhzhya NPP put into operation high-voltage power supply line 750 kV "Dneprovskaya"," - stated in the message.

It added that now the power supply of ZNPP is provided by the "Dneprovskaya" line and the 330 kV Ferrosplavnaya-1 line. Radiation background at the plant itself and on the territory adjacent to it does not exceed natural values, it corresponds to the normal operation of power units.

Balitsky said there is no nuclear threat to Zaporizhzhya NPP

Putin discussed with the head of the region the situation at the station, unemployment and agricultural growth in the region

It was reported in the morning of November 21 that the power supply line "Dniprovskaya" was disconnected by the action of automation. At that time, the press service of the plant noted that for the time of its shutdown ZNPP relied on the power supply from Ferroalloy-1. When the high-voltage line was shut down, the radiation background remained normal, but ZNPP workers were ready to respond.

The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Rafael Grossi on November 20 drew attention to the unstable situation at ZNPP, which requires to exclude threats to nuclear safety. The head of the agency reminded that all reactors of the plant continue to be in cold shutdown mode. The IAEA insists that none of them can be restarted until the threats to both nuclear and physical safety of ZNPP are eliminated.

The next day, Mikhail Ulyanov, Russia's permanent representative to international organizations in Vienna, said that the agency's experts were doing a poor job of fixing provocations by Ukraine at ZNPP. In particular, they never recognized that it was Kiev behind all the threats to the plant.

The governor of Zaporizhzhya Region, Yevhen Balitskyy, told a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin that the ZNPP was being protected by taking all necessary measures and that the security level at the nuclear facility was high. The head of the region added that the deployment of a regiment of radiation, chemical and biological defense troops is a guarantee of control over the nuclear threat.

Zaporizhzhya region, where the nuclear power plant is located, became part of the Russian Federation following a referendum in September 2022, since then Zaporizhzhya NPP has been under constant IAEA control.
