"Russia's state-owned nuclear energy company, Rosatom, is preparing to restart the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, according to the Russian state news agency RIA Novosti, which cited Rosatom's head, Alexey Likhachev. The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant is the largest nuclear facility in Europe. It has six VVER-1000 V-320 reactors, which are Soviet-designed, water-cooled, and water-moderated. These reactors contain uranium-235. All reactors are currently shut down."
"These reactors contain uranium-235. All reactors are currently shut down. Russian forces occupied the Ukrainian power plant in the early days of their full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, and it is still under Russian control. The plant has been disconnected from the power grid for over a week. It now relies on backup generators to power cooling systems and other safety mechanisms."

Restart preparations by Rosatom are planned despite the current shutdown status.
