Zaporizhzhia NPP
Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) is Europe's largest with 6 VVER-1000 units totaling 5700 MWe, Russian-occupied since March 2022.
Located in Ukraine, offline since 2022 due to conflict; IAEA monitors safety. Supplied by ROSATOM fuel. Risks include shelling and cooling pond issues.
Why it matters now
ZNPP instability in 2025-2026 heightens global fuel supply fears, accelerating three-tier diversification and HALEU investments.
