ZAPORIZHZIA, UKRAINE - SEPTEMBER 11: A view of Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant after operations have been completely halted on September 11, 2022, in Zaporizhzia, Ukraine. Ukraine on Sunday said operations at Europeâs largest nuclear power plant have been completely halted. The last of the Zaporizhzhia plantâs six reactors was disconnected from the power grid early at 3.41 a.m. (0041GMT), according to a statement by Energoatom, Ukraineâs atomic power operator. âPreparations are underway for its cooling and transfer to a cold state,❠the agency said. Under Russian control since March, the plant in southeastern Ukraine was disconnected from the countryâs power grid last Monday, amid growing concerns of a nuclear disaster as Moscow and Kyiv accuse each other of attacks on the nuclear facility.
