Russian-held Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant regains power after temporarily cut off from grid

ABC  

The last regular line supplying electricity to Ukraine's Russian-held Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant is working after being cut on Thursday, the United Nations has said. Key points: The UN nuclear watchdog confirmed the Zaporizhzhia power plant had twice lost connection to Ukraine's power grid Energoatom says lines linking the plant to the grid had been disrupted after fires had broken out in the ash pits of a coal power station near the nuclear reactor complex Fighting in the area around the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power station has been a source of concern for weeks Ukrainian state nuclear company Energoatom said fires broke out in the ash pits of a coal power station near the Zaporizhzhia reactor complex, Europe's largest nuclear facility, disrupting lines linking the plant to Ukraine's power grid. Kyiv told the IAEA, the UN's nuclear watchdog, that shelling earlier this week had damaged transformers at a nearby conventional power plant, disrupting electricity supplies to the Zaporizhzhia plant for several hours.
