IAEA: Khmelnytsky and Rivne NPPs reduce capacity due to shelling of power substations

This was reported by the IAEA on social media X, according to Ukrinform. 

“In Ukraine, the Khmelnytsky and Rivne nuclear power plants are reducing their capacity after targeted attacks on electrical substations, which further complicates the stability of the power system,” Grossi said. 

The IAEA Director General again called for “military restraint to prevent a nuclear accident.” 

As reported by Ukrinform, Russia launched 38 missiles and 635 UAVs of various types at Ukraine during the night and morning. At least 13 regions were targeted. 

According to Acting Minister of Energy Artem Nekrasov, due to the massive Russian attack on December 23, Ukrainian nuclear power plants were forced to reduce electricity generation, and consumers in eight regions are without power.
