Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia NPP completely shut down

In the early hours of September 11, power unit No. 6 of Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia NPP was disconnected from the power grid, Report informs, citing Enerhoatom, a state enterprise operating all four nuclear power stations in Ukraine.

"For the last three days, the 6th power unit has been operating in the 'island mode,' meeting only the ZNPP's own needs at a critically low power level (from 114 to 140 MW), since all communication lines of the Zaporizhzhia NPP with the energy system of Ukraine were damaged due to Russian shelling," the company said.

Enerhoatom emphasized that they are taking all possible measures to organize the supply of additional batches of diesel fuel to ZNPP.
