Ukraine’s nuclear regulator has approved the release of the first 20 tonnes of carbon steel from the Chernobyl nuclear power plant for reuse elsewhere in the country.
 

Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant has had its external power supply restored, after a month having to rely on emergency diesel generators to power its essential safety functions.
 

The Russian nuclear regulator, Rostekhnadzor, has issued a 25-year licence for the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant's dry storage facility for used nuclear fuel.
 

A draft new law has been presented and a working group has met as part of the production of a draft action plan for the implementation of small modular reactors in Ukraine.
 

The two sides in the war have "engaged in a constructive way" with the International Atomic Energy Agency, whose director general says "a process has been set in motion" to help restore external power to Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant.
 

The International Atomic Energy Agency says that power was restored on Thursday morning to the New Safe Confinement at Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant after 16 hours, following damage to a nearby substation.
 

International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi has met with the Russian and the Ukrainian sides in recent days to try to get a resumption of external power supplies to Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant.
 

The International Atomic Energy Agency has said drones flew within a few hundred metres of the South Ukraine Nuclear Power Plant, underlining the continued risks to nuclear safety from the on-going war. Meanwhile Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant continues to have to rely on emergency diesel generators after a loss of off-site power.
 

International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi has warned of the "fragile nuclear safety" situation at Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant as it was forced to again rely on back-up diesel generators for power.
