The IAEA said consultations on a temporary truce in the area of the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant for the purpose of repairing the backup power supply line started on January 10.
On January 2, as a result of military actions, the last remaining 330 kV backup power line at the plant was damaged and disconnected. The Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant became fully dependent on a single operating 750 kV line.
