Well, this is good news, but this is not enough. Nuclear power, especially huge soviet systems don't maneuver as good as natural gas or hydro. What Ukraine grid really needs are small/medium gas turbines or large scale storage systems. Also large amounts of electrical equipment as it constantly being destroyed by ruskies.

Nuclear power is something Russia is afraid to attack. Those others are in many ways better, but they are something Russia will attack.
yeah, so afraid that they occupied zaporizhzhia plant, which is the largest of it's kind in Europe and put military systems in it. Also nuclear is useless without the grid, and as a matter of fact, an active hazard.
They areenot accacking the plant.
