The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine, currently under Russian control, has been reconnected to the power grid following a near three-day outage. The disconnection stemmed from damage to an external power supply caused by shelling. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed the restoration of electricity after repairs were completed. This reconnection is crucial as the plant relies on external power for vital safety functions, including cooling the reactor cores to prevent a meltdown. While reconnected, the situation remains precarious, with the plant continuing to operate in a conflict zone and vulnerable to further disruptions. The IAEA continues to monitor the situation closely and advocate for a safety and security zone around the facility.
