Following a visit by an IAEA delegation to the Zaporeggia nuclear plant, Europe's largest nuclear plant, with six 1,000-megawatt reactors, controlled by Russian troops in March, shortly after the start of its military operation in Ukraine

The Ukrainian State company Inergo Atom announced the separation of the last reactor operating at the Ukrainian nuclear power plant in Zaporeggia from the Ukrainian power grid

The company wrote on the Telgram app: "Reactor No. 6 was closed and separated from the grid", attributing it to a fire that "erupted due to shelling" and damaged a power line linking this unit to the Ukrainian grid

This was the only reactor operating out of 6 in the southern terminal, Europe's largest occupied by Russian forces

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), whose experts are on site, announced Saturday the closure of reactor No. 5 due to power line damage following the bombing. The other four reactors in Zaporeggia have been separated from the grid for weeks.

IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi had led the delegation, most of whose personnel left the plant on the same day. In a separate statement, Energo Atom said that of the six experts who remained at the site, four had left on Monday morning while the remaining two would be permanently present.
