The move comes two days after the plant was temporarily knocked offline because of what officials said was fire damage to a transmission line. Fighting around the plant has triggered concerns about a potential nuclear disaster.
While the UN's atomic energy agency has been trying to seek access to inspect and help secure the plant - with officials saying preparations for the trip are under way - it remains unclear when it might take place.Nuclear experts have warned of the risk of damage to the Zaporizhzhia plant's spent nuclear fuel pools or its reactors.Satellite image shows smoke rising from fires at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant on Wednesday.
Exactly what went wrong was not clear, but Mr Zelenskyy said the plant's emergency backup diesel generators had to be activated to supply electricity to operate the complex.The plant requires power to run the reactors' vital cooling systems. A loss of cooling could lead to a nuclear meltdown. On Friday Ukrenergo, Ukraine's transmission system operator, reported that two damaged main lines supplying the plant with electricity had resumed operation, ensuring a stable power supply.
The incident heightened dread of a nuclear disaster in a country still haunted by the 1986 explosion at Chernobyl.
