“The instability in the electrical grid from the shelling also caused one of the Khmelnytskyi reactor units to shut down. These developments were confirmed by the IAEA Support and Assistance Missions that are onsite at the plants, who also confirmed that all nuclear safety systems at Khmelnytskyi worked as expected,” informed the IAEA.
In addition, two of the three operating Ukrainian nuclear power plants – Rivne and South Ukraine NPPs as a precautionary measure reduced the output of electricity due to the Russian shelling of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, which was confirmed by the IAEA Support and Assistance Missions located at the plants.
On February 10, the Russian Federation launched more than 100 missiles during another massive missile attack on the territory of Ukraine.
