The largest nuclear power plant in Europe, with six reactors and a rated output of 6,000 megawatts, has been under Russian control since March 2022. It is currently not producing any electricity. Several Ukrainian attempts to recapture it have failed. A team from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is constantly on site to monitor the situation and prevent a nuclear accident through its presence.
