In its most recent update on the status of Ukrainian nuclear power plants (NPPs), issued to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on March 2, the State Nuclear Regulatory Inspectorate of Ukraine (SNRIU) said it maintained communications with the country’s NPPs and that all units “continued to operate as before.”
Of Ukraine’s 15 reactors, more than half were operating at full capacity, while others were undergoing scheduled maintenance or being held in reserve, the SNRIU said. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) reports that nine reactors were connected to the grid in Ukraine on Feb. 28.
