Two of Three Ukrainian Nuclear Power Plants Taken Off Grid
At approximately 0752, after more than twenty five Russian missiles struck electrical infrastructure throughout Ukraine, the Khmelnytskyi Nuclear Power Plant in Netishyn, Khmel'nyts'ka Oblast, Ukraine was taken off the electrical grid. Although the plant itself was not struck by Russian missiles, Ukrenergo, the Ukrainian energy operators charged with managing the electrical output of the plant, had to remove the plant from the grid due to outages and surges associated with the strikes. The plant has been placed in emergency mode. The South Ukraine NPP has also been taken off the grid in order to alleviate demand and the possibility of surges on damaged infrastructure.
