The Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) has informed International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) experts stationed at the facility that its specialists are ready to begin repairs on the last external power line damaged on September 23 but cannot proceed due to ongoing shelling by Ukrainian forces, ZNPP communications director Yevgeniya Yashina told TASS. "Yes, we have notified the IAEA that we are ready to begin repairs, but due to the shelling, we are unable to start. On September 29, IAEA Director-General Rafael Grossi reported that he had discussed the situation with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrey Sibiga. On September 23, Ukrainian shelling damaged the last external power line supplying the ZNPP, forcing the plant to switch to diesel generators. Repair work on the line remains impossible due to continued shelling, but the cooling of nuclear fuel in storage pools and reactors is being maintained in full.
