Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant Loses External Power Supply for 27th Time
IAEA reports the station has switched to emergency diesel generators; fuel reserves will last approximately two weeks.
Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) has once again lost all external power supply and was forced to switch to emergency diesel generators to cool reactors and ensure nuclear safety, according to the IAEA.
According to IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi, early Sunday morning ZNPP lost connection with the only remaining external power transmission line — "Ferrosplavna-1." "This is the 27th such event during the conflict, which underscores the persistent instability of nuclear safety," he stated.
The IAEA team stationed at ZNPP received information that the plant has sufficient fuel reserves to operate a limited number of emergency diesel generators for approximately two weeks. Grossi emphasized the importance of both restoring ZNPP's connection to the power grid and increasing diesel fuel reserves at the facility.
