Largest nuclear power plant in Europe, seized by Russian forces, has been powered down and disconnected from grid, says company Energoatom,
The sixth reactor had been operating in “island mode” for the past three days, it said, feeding only its own needs after power lines were severed by Russian shelling.
The restoration of one of these lines on Saturday enabled the operator to make the decision to place the site in “the safest state – cold shutdown”.
