The Russian controlled Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Station appears to have been completely disconnected from the grid, @netblocks reporting a major communications disruption at the plant.
The plant is reportedly still receiving external power from the nearby thermal power plant.
Should clarify based on the Ukrainian statement. The plant is still operational, they just lost the main transmission line to the Ukrainian grid. The NPP still has a local connection to the nearby thermal power plant.
