Russian controlled Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant disconnected from Ukrainian national grid after fire
Telegraph, 25 Aug 2022
The Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant in Ukraine has been disconnected from the national power supply, the state energy operator said.
Fires broke out in the ash pits of a coal plant located near the Zaporizhzhia plant and damaged the power lines connecting it to Ukraine's grid, Energoatom said.
The last two working reactors at the power plant, Europe's largest nuclear power facility, were subsequently shut down.
