About Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant

About Zaporizhzhia Plant: It is one of five nuclear power stations in Ukraine, which meets almost half of its electricity demand through nuclear energy.
- The six reactors at Zaporizhzhia have the capacity to produce 5,700 MW of electricity.
Location: The plant is located in south-east Ukraine in Enerhodar on the banks of Dnieper river.
Russian Occupation of Plant: Russian forces seized it after their February 2022 full-scale invasion and have occupied it ever since, alongside most of the Zaporizhzhia region.
Current Operating Status: The facility stopped generating power in 2022, but needs a constant supply of electricity to cool one of its reactors which is in a state of “hot conservation”,i.e., it is not fully offline.
