Currently, the plant’s 1st, 2nd, 5th and 6th units are all under cold shutdown. Unit 3 is in “repair stop”, and unit 4 is in “hot shutdown” to produce steam.
The Zaporozhye NPP is located on the left bank of the Dnepr River and is the largest nuclear power plant in Europe. It came under the control of Russian forces in early March 2022 and has since been repeatedly shelled by Ukrainian forces, raising international fears of a possible nuclear accident. IAEA experts have been working at the Zaporozhye NPP since September 1, 2022, following IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi’s first visit to the facility.
