Is any part of Chernobyl still in operation? It seems like everything was shut down by 2000 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_Nuclear_Power_Plant).

Chernobyl power plant isn't operational since 2000.

Which still means that it operated for 14 years after the accident. Must have been a very "special" workplace for the engineers involved...

The station has been shut down since 2000. There's no power supply there.

Could it still be an important part of the distribution network? Lines, substations, etc.

It's simply the shortest and simplest path from Belarus to Kiev. It has strategic military value.
