IAEA Warns Zaporozhye Plant Lacks Power
The International Atomic Energy Agency reported that the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine has been lacking external power supply for more than a week and is currently relying on emergency diesel generators, which have a capacity to last only three days. It indicated that the plant lost its power source following military attacks on the river that separates it from conflict zones, with Russia and Ukraine exchanging accusations of launching attacks on the site. The agency emphasized the importance of having reliable electrical power supplies to maintain the safety of its six inactive reactors and expressed concern over the risk of cooling operations stopping. It is seeking to negotiate a ceasefire to carry out necessary repairs. The agency also revealed incidents involving drones that resulted in injuries to staff, following the Russian takeover of the plant in March 2022.
