Energoatom noted that the water level in the canal has not dropped significantly recently, its indicators are no longer dependent on the Kakhovka Reservoir. It is noted that the situation remains stable and under control.
As reported, on June 6, 2023, Russian invaders blew up the Kakhovka HPP dam, destroying the Kakhovska reservoir - the source of water for the ZNPP cooling pond. Energoatom has developed an algorithm of measures for the operation of the plant and personnel in case of water of the Kakhovka reservoir is not enough to feed the cooling pond. ZNPP power units have not been operating since September 2022, therefore, active evaporation of water from the cooling pond has not occurred since then.
