By mid-afternoon, the power station would be back on the grid. Grossi asks that action be taken to ensure safety at the site of the nuclear power plant. “This is the sixth time, I repeat: the sixth time, that the Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Plant has lost all power and has to operate in emergency mode.” He points out that the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant is the “largest in all of Europe”.
