The attacks triggered emergency procedures at the Khmelnytskji plant, the Pivdennoukrainsk plant and the Rivne plant.
– Power plants are not currently generating electricity in the national energy system, informs the management company Energoatom. However, the company says power from the power plants can be restored as soon as the situation in the power grid “normalizes”.
The Ukrainian nuclear company also says that radiation levels are normal at all three power plants.
Kyiv’s Energy Ministry said on Wednesday afternoon that the “vast majority” of households in the country had lost power after a wave of Russian attacks. 70 cruise missiles are said to have been fired at Ukrainian targets.
At the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant in the south of the country, which is under Russian control, the nuclear power plant has also gone into emergency mode. According to Energoatom, diesel generators that provide electricity for cooling and other important processes at the power plant shut down in emergency situations.
The level of radiation here is also normal, according to the company.
