Groszy Flags Risk of Zaporizhzhia Blackout

Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, indicated that the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine may face a complete power outage in approximately ten days if external electricity supplies are not resumed or additional diesel fuel supplies are secured quickly. The plant has been relying on backup diesel generators for over a week to maintain nuclear safety systems, such as reactor cooling pumps and spent fuel storage pools. Grossi emphasized that ensuring the continued availability of diesel fuel and supply chains is a priority to guarantee the safety of the facility, along with securing a reliable source of external electricity and implementing safe procedures for bringing in and removing supplies. He also expressed concern about military activity near the plant, warning of the risks posed by attacks on personnel, cooling systems, and nuclear fuel, and called for military restraint and continued international monitoring to safeguard nuclear safety at Zaporizhzhia and other sites across Ukraine.
