Ukraine nuclear plant reconnected to national grid – IAEA

Kyiv, Ukraine: Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant is receiving power from the national grid once again, the UN's atomic agency (IAEA) said Saturday (Sunday in Manila), after it was cut off from external power, raising the risk of an accident.

The Russian-occupied plant had been cut from the national grid since September due to shelling.
