Of the 15 operating reactors at four NPPs, seven are currently connected to the grid, including two at the Russian-controlled Zaporizhzhya NPP.
On Tuesday evening, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant resumed direct communication. This was stated in a press release by the agency's director general Rafael Mariano Grossi.
Russian troops detained Chernobyl for five weeks before withdrawing its troops on March 31. On March 10, the IAEA lost contact with a nuclear power plant.
“The situation is volatile, so the good news is that the regulator can now contact the station directly when needed,” Grossi said in a statement.

As for the country's 15 operating reactors at four nuclear power plants, the Ukrainian side said seven are currently connected to the grid, including two at the Russian-controlled Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant, two at the Rivne nuclear power plant, two at the South Ukrainian nuclear power plant and one at Khmelnytsky. The other eight reactors are shut down for regular maintenance or kept in reserve. Safety systems continue to operate at four NPPs.
As for guarantees, the IAEA has stated that it still does not receive remote data transmission from its monitoring systems installed at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, but such data is transmitted to the IAEA headquarters from other nuclear power plants in Ukraine.
On the day of the occupation, Russian troops captured the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, did not release or allow personnel to rotate. The interim head of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant Valery Seida noted that the station was forced to stand still.
At one stage of the capture, soldiers of the enemy army were sent to dig trenches in the Red Forest in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, they were later placed in the Gomel Scientific and Practical Center for Radiation Medicine of “Union” Belarus.
