Overview

• IAEA inspectors report no indications of active preparations to restart the Zaporizhzhia facility, according to an agency official speaking on condition of anonymity.
• Greenpeace and satellite imagery analyses reveal construction of a high-voltage transmission line in Russian-held areas approaching the plant.
• Russia has not acknowledged the power line project, which Ukraine alleges is an unauthorized move toward reactivating its sovereign nuclear site.
• The six reactors remain fuelled yet offline in cold shutdown, relying on diesel generators after losing their main Dnieper River cooling supply following the 2023 Kakhovka Dam collapse.
• IAEA Director-General Rafael Mariano Grossi plans to hold further discussions with both Russian and Ukrainian authorities on the safety and feasibility of any potential restart.
