I'm wondering, how did the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant get over unharmed after the Kakhovka reservoir was emptied? How does it still get the water necessary for cooling?

Also, it's cool that wildlife is returning there, but isn't there a demand for electricity that was previously supplied by hydroelectric power plants like at Nova Khakhovka which are now destroyed?

And what about the villages and towns downstream of Khakhovka that were flooded when the dam was destroyed? Are they liveable again or did they become part of the river bed?

They completed cold shutdown a year ago.

I don't believe that it requires additional water input from the outside in that state.
