Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant makes shutdown transition for maintenance

Operators carrying out maintenance at Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant have switched the shutdown mode of two reactors, the Moscow-installed administration of the plant, located on the war’s front-line, said on Tuesday.
Europe’s largest nuclear plant was captured by Russian forces in March 2022. Ukraine and Russia accuse each other of shelling around the station and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has been trying to set up a safety mechanism to prevent accidents.
One of the plant’s six reactors, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), needs to be kept in a hot shutdown mode in order to produce steam required for nuclear safety, including the processing of liquid radioactive waste in storage tanks.
