Ukraine's Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) has completed drilling of ten groundwater wells, bringing the plant close to having a longer-term solution for the provision of cooling water to the shutdown reactors after the destruction of the Kakhovka dam in June, Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi said today. Over 200 cubic meters of water can now be supplied to the sprinkler ponds that cool the ZNPP's six reactors and spent fuel. The IAEA has been informed that the site intends to drill an additional well bringing the total to 11 wells which is hoped to provide the approximately 250 cubic metres of water per hour to maintain the cooling of the reactors and spent fuel pools in the current shutdown state.
