On the evening of September 2 local time, the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant released important news. A high-voltage power supply line at the nuclear power plant was automatically shut down, but another high-voltage power supply line at the nuclear power plant is still supplying power normally. At present, all six units of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant are in a "cold shutdown" state.

It is reported that the equipment maintenance of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant complies with all necessary regulations and strictly adheres to radiation safety norms. The radiation at the nuclear power plant and in adjacent areas is at a level corresponding to the normal operation of the units.

The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant is one of the largest nuclear power plants in Europe. Since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict in February 2022, the nuclear power plant has been under Russian control. Since April this year, all units of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant have been in a "cold shutdown" state. This power supply line shutdown incident has attracted widespread attention from the international community.

Rafael Grossi, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, has departed for the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. Grossi said that the purpose of this trip is to continue providing assistance to help prevent nuclear accidents. All parties are closely watching the situation at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, hoping to ensure the safe operation of the nuclear power plant and avoid any risks that may lead to nuclear accidents. We will continue to pay attention to and bring you the latest reports on the follow-up progress of this incident.
