On the night of June 6, 2023, the russian occupationists blew up the Kakhovka dam.
Due to detonation, the water level in the Kakhovka reservoir is rapidly decreasing, which is an additional threat to the temporarily occupied Zaporizhzhya NPP.
Water from the Kakhovka reservoir is needed for the plant to receive power for ZNPP turbine capacitors and safety systems. Currently, the power plant's cooling pond is filled: as of 8:00 am, the water level is 16.6 meters, which is sufficient for the power plant's needs.
Energoatom is monitoring the situation and the actions of ruscists at ZNPP together with other international organizations present at the power plant, in particular, the IAEA.
Any changes will be promptly notified.
