Measures to cool the Zaporizhzhya NPP reactors are sufficient for the time being. The President of Energoatom said that if the situation worsens, there are other sources of cooling.

For example, mobile pumping units can be deployed that will pump additional water from those cities where it will remain in the Kakhovka reservoir and underwater channels in the ZNPP. The last frontier is the use of underground drinking water wells,” Petr Kotin told Radio Liberty.
The very situation with the destruction of the Kakhovka reservoir is provided for by the project of the Zaporizhzhya NPP. The main threat is that the Russians continue to be at the ZNPP site and “may commit any criminal acts in order to significantly aggravate the situation.”
The water level in the ZNPP cooling pond is stable, Energoatom said on the morning of June 9.
In particular, the water level in the Kakhovka reservoir near Nikopol is 11.74 m, and in the cooling pond of the Zaporizhzhya NPP – 16.66 m. This is quite enough to meet the needs of the station.
The Zaporozhye NPP is still pumping cooling water from the Kakhovka Reservoir, despite the water level dropping to a critical level, IAEA Director General Grossi said on June 8.
IAEA experts say that, according to preliminary results of the test, ZNPP will be able to pump water even if its level drops to 11 m or below.
