Ukraine nuclear plant back online as inspection prepared

Kyiv, Ukraine (AFP) Aug 26, 2022

Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, occupied by Moscow's troops, came back online Friday, the state operator said after Kyiv claimed it was cut from the national power grid by Russian shelling. The plant - Europe's largest nuclear facility - was severed Thursday from Ukraine's power network for the first time in its four-decade history due to "actions of the invaders", Energoatom said.
