IAEA-Brokered Ceasefire Enables Repairs at Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Plant in Ukraine
A local ceasefire brokered by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) took effect to allow repairs at the Russian-controlled Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in southeastern Ukraine. The plant has been without external power since August 20 and relies on emergency diesel generators, with fuel reserves running low. Ukrainian technicians are set to begin repairing a damaged power line after demining the area. The ceasefire is expected to last about a week, though restoring power is not guaranteed. Both Russia and Ukraine have accused each other of actions risking nuclear safety.
