Unclear if reservoir water from breached dam can still be pumped to Zaporizhzhia

It is unclear whether water from the huge reservoir of the Kakhovka dam in Ukraine that burst last week can still be pumped to the nearby Zaporizhzhia
nuclear power plant (ZNPP) for cooling, the U.N. nuclear watchdog said on Friday.
While the reservoir was a main source of water for cooling the six reactors and spent fuel ponds at Europe’s biggest nuclear power plant, the plant can fall back on other sources including a large cooling pond which the International Atomic Energy Agency says has enough water to last for months.
The bursting of the dam has, however, further complicated an already difficult situation in terms of ensuring Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia operates safely, the IAEA says. Shelling has repeatedly downed external power lines that are also vital to ensuring the cooling necessary to prevent a nuclear meltdown.
“There are … indications that some water resources from the reservoir itself currently remain available in areas near the ZNPP,” the IAEA said in a statement.
