Ukrainian Nuclear Plant Restored to Power Grid After Temporary Ceasefire

The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine has been successfully restored to the electrical grid after maintenance work conducted during a temporary ceasefire arranged by the International Atomic Energy Agency, officials announced Saturday.

The nuclear facility had been operating without external electrical power for almost three full days before technicians were able to complete the necessary repairs under the locally-negotiated pause in hostilities, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency’s statement released on June 13.
