Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant

Nuclear Facility

The six-unit VVER station on the Dnipro in southern Ukraine, the largest nuclear power station in Europe at 5,700 megawatts of net capacity, legally operated by the Ukrainian state company Energoatom. The plant has been under Russian military occupation since March 2022 and all six reactors have been in cold shutdown since September 2022, so its capacity describes what is installed rather than anything currently generated.
