Power outage at Ukraine nuclear plant
A fault in the high-voltage power line at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine, which is under Russian control, caused a loss of external power supply, leading to its transition to emergency diesel generators. The plant's management confirmed that radiation levels remain normal, and although the facility, which houses six reactors, does not generate electricity on its own, it requires a stable power supply to maintain the cooling of nuclear fuel and the safety of the facility. As Europe's largest nuclear plant, the facility faces ongoing tensions between Moscow and Kyiv since Russia's takeover at the start of the 2022 war, with both sides exchanging accusations of threatening nuclear safety.
