Energoatom reported that despite the destruction of the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant dam by Russian forces, the water level in the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant cooling pond remains stable and controlled as of July 24, 2023.

Water level in the cooling pond was 16.36 meters as of 08:00 Kyiv time on July 24, 2023

Water level in the thermal power plant canal was 10.93 meters, no longer dependent on the destroyed Kakhovka Reservoir

Radiation situation at ZNPP is within current standards as of 08:00 Kyiv time on July 24, 2023

ZNPP power units have not been operating since September 2022

The IAEA also commented on the start of the transition of the fourth reactor from hot to cold shutdown, which Russian forces occupying the plant have reportedly planned. The agency expects Unit 4 to reach a hot shutdown status on July 25.

On July 24, the illegitimate management of the occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant put power unit No. 4 on 'hot shutdown'.
