TL;DR

Workers at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine are struggling to secure water after a nearby dam collapsed, depleting its water supply. The plant has shut down all six reactors, but will still require water to cool spent fuel and other equipment. The International Atomic Energy Agency believes the water in the plant's cooling pond and other parts should be enough to cool the plant for the next few months. The collapse of the dam was preceded by an explosion, and evidence suggests that it was blown up by a Russian "sabotage group."
