Since shutdown, one of the reactors has been run in a mode where it is generating some steam (but I believe no or not enough electricity -- this is supplied by external power lines) for safety and maintenance purposes. Currently this is reactor 5. The russians are now switching it to reactor 4 (this being the one that Ukranian Intelligence alleged was rigged with explosives, and the one the russians won't let the IAEA fully inspect).
