Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant Without Electricity: What IAEA Is Doing to Prevent a Catastrophe.

According to inkorr.com: IAEA is working to restore electricity supply to the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant

The Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Rafael Grossi, has reported that the organization is actively cooperating with both sides to quickly restore electricity supply to the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. This information comes from

Negotiations for Stable Operation of the Plant

Grossi noted that the IAEA is negotiating with Russia and Ukraine to ensure the stable operation of the plant.

Situation with Electricity Supply

It should be noted that the absence of external electricity supply at the occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant has raised serious concerns about the safety of the largest nuclear power plant in Europe. The last power line was disconnected on Tuesday at 16:56 from the Russian side. Currently, the plant is functioning thanks to emergency diesel generators, which support cooling and safety systems. The IAEA has already described the situation

"deeply concerning".

Risks of a Radiation Accident

The situation is further complicated by the fact that the occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant has been without communication with the Ukrainian energy system for a week. Safety system power is provided by backup diesel generators. The lack of electricity supply poses significant risks to nuclear and radiation safety.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky emphasized the risks of a radiation accident due to the occupation of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant by the Russian Federation at the UN General Assembly. He highlighted that the blackout at the plant has lasted for a week, and such a situation has never occurred before.

The conflict at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant has raised serious concerns over potential consequences for the safety of the nuclear facility and the risks of a radiation accident. At the same time, the IAEA and Ukrainian authorities are actively cooperating with Russia to restore stable operation of the plant and ensure electricity supply.
