As of February 12, Ukrainian nuclear power plants have restored their capacity by more than 90%. The State Nuclear Regulatory Inspectorate of Ukraine (SNRIU) Chairman Oleh Korikov has announced this during a briefing at the Ukraine Media Center.
NPP power units were forced to reduce power output due to a massive russian attack on February 7. Key power substations and high-voltage lines that connect the nuclear power plants to the grid were hit.
"After Russia's latest attack on power substations, the power of nuclear power plants is being restored. The power has already been restored by more than 90%," said Oleh Korikov.
As of today, Ukrainian nuclear power plants are operating stably, and the radiation situation at all sites is within normal limits. The safety and technical condition of the facilities continue to be monitored by the IAEA monitoring missions, which are at all Ukrainian NPPs, including the Chornobyl plant.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi said that Ukrainian nuclear power plants have stopped generating after the morning massive attack by the russian federation.
The Ukrainian News agency also reported that the Ministry of Energy said that the enemy had attacked substations and overhead power lines of 750 kV and 330 kV with drones and missiles. As a result of the damage, nuclear power plants were forced to reduce generation capacity.
