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.
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.
