Lots of work still being done there (radioactive waste removal/containment)...over 150 techs per shift:

Your reply does not respond to what I said.
How many workers there, how much heat energy is being expended by ongoing nuclear fuel decay, how much monitoring, maintenance, rehabilitation, remediation, has nothing, nothing, to do with “on the grid”.
“On the grid” means the plant is producing electricity and is feeding electrical energy through wires to be used elsewhere.
What I quoted implies that (1) this “decommissioned” plant was “on the grid” supplying electrical power for productive use prior to the Russian invasion, (2) it is no longer “on the grid”, and (3) this change in status from “on the grid” to “off the grid” occurred after the Russian invasion. The makes no sense.
OK, I figured it out. What they are saying is that Chernobyl is no longer being SUPPLIED with power from outside sources, not that it is no longer PRODUCING power.
