Power has been restored at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant following a 15-hour blackout
External power supply has been restored at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant following one of the longest outages in recent times. According to the IAEA, the plant was without external power for about 15 hours, after which power supply was successfully restored.
“This morning, external power supply was restored at the Zaporizhzhia NPP following a 15-hour outage, during which the facility had to rely on emergency diesel generators to cool six shut-down reactors,” the statement said.
It is noted that this was the 18th loss of external power supply during the war, making it one of the longest.
IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi highlighted the extreme vulnerability of the power grid and emphasized the urgent need to carry out planned repair work on power lines under the protection of a ceasefire brokered by the IAEA.
The IAEA reported this on social media.
