The personnel of the Ukrainian nuclear power plant Zaporizhzhia, occupied by Russian soldiers, are working to reconnect the two functioning reactors to the Ukrainian electricity grid.
This was announced this morning by Energoatom, adding that the power line that was blown yesterday has been "restored", causing the first disconnection from the national electricity grid in 40 years.
"The power line of the power plant to the Ukrainian energy system has been restored and work is underway to prepare the connection to the network of the two power units", the reactors, is added on Telegram, explaining that no problems are reported with the system. security and that the power plant receives the energy necessary for its internal needs "through a line coming from the Ukrainian electricity system".
The new alarm signal on the nuclear power plant arrived yesterday when the plant disconnected from the Ukrainian electricity grid, amid the mutual accusations of Moscow and Kiev of having caused the accident with the continuous bombing of the area.
Zaporizhzhia is "totally disconnected", Energoatom announced later in the day, explaining that the "two reactors in operation have been disconnected from the grid".
And even if the security system held up, the Kiev National Energy Authority pointed the finger at the "actions of the invaders", whose repeated attacks caused fires that blew up the last line twice. communication with the network.
Three other lines of communication had previously been damaged by the Russians.
After the maintenance operations, Energoatom made it known that the power line had been restored.
The version of the incident by the pro-Russians who have occupied the plant since March is different.
The disconnection problem, later solved,
it was caused by the "massive Ukrainian bombing" which left most of the Russian-controlled regions in the provinces of Zaporizhzhia and Kherson in the dark for several hours.
At this point, the hope, expressed by the director general of the IAEA Rafael Grossi, is that his agency will be able to inspect the plant "within days".
The major concern is that the safety mechanisms could blow if the plant loses all its power.
