B[International Atomic Energy Agency: Repair of key external power supply facilities at Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant completed] October 23, local time, the International Atomic Energy Agency stated on October 23, local time, that under the guarantee of a Russian-Ukrainian partial ceasefire coordinated by the agency, the damaged key power supply facilities near the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine have been repaired, reducing the risk of another external power supply interruption at the nuclear power plant. The International Atomic Energy Agency said that under its supervision, maintenance workers had repaired damaged power distribution equipment about two kilometers from the nuclear power plant over the past week. This maintenance has improved the power supply reliability of the nuclear power plant's only existing external power supply line and reduced the risk of another power outage. The International Atomic Energy Agency noted that fuel reserves for emergency diesel generators at nuclear power plants have declined in recent months. In the event of another prolonged loss of external power supply, the operation of critical safety systems such as reactor cooling may be affected. The partial ceasefire, which took effect on October 15, is the eighth temporary ceasefire coordinated by the agency to ensure the safety of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant.
