The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, under Russian occupation, has been without external power for over two days. The plant is currently relying on emergency diesel generators to cool its reactors, a situation the IAEA has deemed highly vulnerable.
A strike on Wednesday evening cut power to Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, forcing it onto backup generators. The IAEA reported no radiation leak but warned of constant dangers. Ukraine also struck a Russian oil refinery in Krasnodar, injuring three.
The Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) has experienced a complete power loss, with backup diesel generators activated. The plant's spokesperson confirmed the incident and stated that IAEA inspectors on-site have been informed, though the cause remains unclear.
The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) has lost its external power supply and is now fully reliant on diesel generators. The plant has a sufficient fuel reserve for these generators, according to the director of communications.
Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant in Turkey is in its final stages for the first reactor's startup. The plant, with four 1200 MW reactors, will meet 10% of Turkey's electricity demand. Over 300 Turkish engineers, trained in Russia, are working on the project.
The Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) lost off-site power after its 330 kV Ferrosplavnaya-1 line was disconnected. Backup diesel generators were activated normally, with no security disruptions reported. Radiation levels remain normal.
Donald Trump threatened to bomb Iran's power plants if a deal isn't reached, accusing Tehran of "playing us for suckers." The US and Iran exchanged strikes, with Iran targeting bases in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Jordan.
SpaceX alumni Sara Spangelo and Ben Longmier have launched Ambrosia Energy, aiming to build solar and battery power plants faster and cheaper than natural gas alternatives. Their goal is to offer power at $100 per megawatt-hour and achieve gigawatt scale by the end of the decade.
Asia's first osmotic power plant in Japan generates 880,000 kWh annually using concentrated brine and wastewater, offering reliable 24/7 power unlike solar or wind. The technology, pressure-retarded osmosis (PRO), leverages salinity gradients, with the Fukuoka plant achieving higher efficiency by using waste streams.
Ehime Prefecture announced the cause of an inspection trouble at the Ikata Nuclear Power Plant in April, attributing it to worker assumption. The issue led to unintended data transfer stoppages in units 2 and 3, in addition to the planned stop for unit 1. Shikoku Electric Power has implemented revised procedures and security measures to prevent recurrence.
Donald Trump is allocating $700m to coal-fired power plants using the Defense Production Act. The funds will support existing plants, build new ones, and create an export terminal, despite coal being a major cause of climate change and respiratory illnesses.
Helion, a fusion startup backed by Sam Altman, has secured $465 million in a Series G funding round, valuing the company at $15.5 billion. The funds will support the development of its Orion power plant, with an ambitious goal of deploying fusion power by 2028.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported that the Zaporizhzhia Thermal Power Plant, which supplies power to the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, was attacked on June 4. Staff at the facility in Enerhodar are sheltering due to the "large-scale attack."
The Zaporozhye Thermal Power Plant (ZTPP), crucial for supplying electricity to the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP), was heavily attacked on June 4. The IAEA reported observing smoke and hearing military activity, expressing concern for the ZNPP's power supply. ZNPP staff are sheltering, but the nuclear plant continues to operate normally.
Russian President Vladimir Putin and Uzbek counterpart Shavkat Mirziyoyev will virtually launch the construction of Uzbekistan's first nuclear power plant during a meeting at SPIEF. The project includes high-capacity and small-capacity reactors.
Russian President Vladimir Putin and Uzbek leader Shavkat Mirziyoyev will launch the construction of a nuclear power plant in Uzbekistan's Jizzakh region via video link during the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. This integrated NPP project will feature both small and large capacity reactors.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov stated that Russia's nuclear doctrine permits the use of nuclear weapons if the country's territorial integrity is threatened by aggressors. He also discussed normalizing US relations and criticized the IAEA's stance on the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant.
IAEA Deputy Director General Mikhail Chudakov stated that military strikes on the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant are "absolutely unacceptable." He noted that while nuclear power plants offer significant energy advantages, they are vulnerable to attacks. This statement follows a recent Ukrainian drone strike on the plant's machine room.
