Power engineers have fully restored power supply to all facilities of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant that were left without electricity as a result of Russian strikes on Slavutych.

The Ministry of Energy reported that the radiation level at the plant is within normal limits and does not pose a threat to the public.

As a reminder, on 1 October, following an attack by Russian troops on the city substation in Slavutych, a complete blackout was recorded. This resulted in a blackout at the Chernobyl NPP that lasted more than three hours. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also spoke about the power outage at the time.
