Rosatom reported On Saturday that ukraine's Chernobyl and Zaporizhzhia, two nuclear power plants currently controlled by the Russian military, are currently operated and managed by Ukrainian employees.
Russia's State Atomic Energy Corporation said in a statement that with the help of Russian experts, external power supply at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant is being restored.
The statement added that it is taking action to ensure safety at the two nuclear power plants in coordination with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
Ukraine warned that the risk of radiation leakage increased if the high-voltage power lines damaged during the fighting at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant were not repaired.
Ukraine's State Nuclear Power Corporation (Energoatom) said Friday that employees at Zaporozhye, Europe's largest nuclear power plant, were feeling strong psychological pressure from the Russians on the scene.
The International Atomic Energy Agency said this week it had lost contact with the remote control systems for monitoring nuclear material at two nuclear power plants, Chernobyl and Zaporizhia.
IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi expressed concern that employees at the two nuclear power plants could be under undue pressure at work.
