New, York, NY, USA - September 24, 2016 - United Nations Headquarters: United Nations Headquarters in New York City: The United Nations General Assembly opens.

The UN’s atomic watchdog says the Chernobyl nuclear power station’s electricity is back on, after the cable supplying the plant was earlier “damaged by the occupying forces”.
The IAEA said workers had begun reconnecting the plant to the electricity grid.
Energy operator Ukrenergo earlier said Chernobyl’s power line had been damaged by Russian forces after they invaded Ukraine and seized the site in the first days of the assault.
“Staff had restarted operations to reconnect the plant to the electricity grid.”
Energy operator Ukrenergo earlier said the power line supplying the Chernobyl plant had been damaged by Russian forces after they invaded Ukraine and seized the power station in the first days of the assault.
The retired Chernobyl nuclear reactors – enclosed in a giant steel and concrete sarcophagus – also lost power early last week, but supply was restored Sunday.
The power station has emergency diesel generators that can kick in when electricity is needed to power security systems, including the cooling systems for the spent nuclear fuel storage facility, Ukraine’s nuclear power inspection body said last week.
Ukrenergo said Chernobyl “cannot be left without a reliable energy supply”.
