The water level in the cooling pond of the Zaporizhzhia NPP is stable at 16.66 m, sufficient to meet the station's needs.
Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant is continuing to pump cooling water from the Kakhovka reservoir.
The IAEA said the plant had assessed that it should be able to pump water from the reservoir also after its level falls below 12.7 metres.
The pumps can likely still be operated even if the level drops to around 11 metres or possibly lower.
