External power supply has been restored at the ZNPP after 15 hours of operation on diesel generators. This is already the 18th instance of the plant being disconnected during the war.
On Saturday, June 6, external power supply was restored at the Zaporizhzhia NPP after a 15-hour blackout. This was reported by UNN with reference to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
Details
External power supply was restored at the ZNPP this morning after a 15-hour interruption, during which the facility had to rely on emergency diesel generators to cool its six shut-down reactors. This marked the 18th instance of external power loss during the war and one of the longest, highlighting the extreme vulnerability of the power grid and the urgent need to continue planned maintenance on power lines under the protection of a ceasefire brokered by the IAEA,
