As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, on November 1, a water leak was detected in one of the reactors at the temporarily occupied Zaporizhzhia NPP.
On October 21, one of the two lines supplying the occupied Zaporizhzhia NPP was de-energized due to russian shelling.
As we recall, on August 18, IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi announced the deterioration of the security situation at the Zaporizhzhia NPP.
