Due to the strikes of the Russian Federation 3 operating NPPs in Ukraine reduced the production of electricity - IAEA

NPPs did not receive reports of direct damage to the NPP, but Ukraine reported the IAEA that the shocks had again affected the electrical substations that stations were used for both transmission and electricity outside the site. At once, three existing nuclear power plants of Ukraine reduced the production of electricity after new Russian attacks on the country's energy infrastructure. This was reported by the CEO of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Raphael Mariano Grossi.

He noted that for the second time in less than two weeks Khmelnitsky, Rivne and South Ukrainian NPPs reduced power during air alarm. Two IAEA teams, located in Ukraine, were forced to hide in shelters during the attack, Grossi said. In total, 9 reactors operated by NPPs, they all reduced power. Also disconnected from the network 1 reactor of Rivne NPP. NPPs continued to receive external electricity, even despite the fact that the Khmelnitsky site lost its connection to two power lines.

"Ukraine's energy infrastructure is extremely fragile and vulnerable that it puts nuclear safety under great risk. I call back to maximum military restraint in areas with large nuclear energy and other facilities on which they depend on," General said Gross Director.
