ZAPORIZHIA, Nov. 20 - Zaporizhia regional administration head Oleksandr Starukh has confirmed earlier reports suggesting that several units at the Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Plant could be stopped because of a significant decline in power consumption by regional industrial enterprises.

"If there is not enough demand for power, the nuclear power plant’s facilities should be stopped. This is not news to us," Starukh said at a news briefing in Zaporizhia.
