Grossi's assessment of Russia's opportunities to restore the work of the occupied ZPP was submitted by the Reuters. "The Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine cannot be restarted due to lack of water for cooling and lack of stable power supply," said IAEA chairman on Tuesday, June 3. Grossi noted that in order to restore the work of a giant power plant that has not worked for almost three years, the Russians will have to pump water from the Dnieper River.
It is worth noting that the power plant itself has six power units, the last of which ceased to work in September 2022. The Russians themselves, as Grossi assures, did not even hide the fact that they want to restore the work of the ZPP to use the electricity made for their own purposes. The difficulties that the Russians will encounter the following factors: these lines supply energy that is necessary for the power plant to cool it.
This is necessary even for being in an inactive state, Grossi says. "We are not in a situation of inevitable restarting of the station. On the contrary, it will take a long time before it can be done," - says IAEA leader. Even if the Russians are able to pump enough water from the Dnieper, they will not be able to restart at a rapid pace, Grossi says. They will have a number of important issues.
