Magate: 5th power unit ZAES was transferred to cold stop

5th power unit of the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant transferred to a cold stop, and block No. 4 to hot.

This was announced by Director General Rafael Grossy. According to him, there is no threat.

“The ZAES reactor has a change in the status of the reactor with the aim of repairing the 5th unit, which are possible only during a cold stop. Block 5 was transferred to a cold stop yesterday morning (July 28 – Ed.), Three days after the transfer of Block 4 to a hot stop, its pairs are now used to clean the wastewater on ZAE, ”the general director said.

The remaining blocks of ZAES remain in cold mode. Magate experts called on the station employees to explore all possible options for installing an outer boiler instead of developing the required steam in order to transfer all blocks to a cold stop.

“Yesterday, the IAEA team visited the reactor unit No. 5, where the reactor housing, the spacing fuel and steam generator, examined the reactor case. The team noted that all the equipment seemed to be in normal condition. There were no restrictions during the visit, and the team did not notice No mines or explosives, ”say in the Magate.
