Energoatom made an alarming statement. They say that the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, which was seized by the Russians, lost connection last night with the last line that linked it to the Ukrainian power system.
It is added that currently the facility’s own needs are being met exclusively by backup diesel generators. It is reported that on Sunday, 8 November, at 2-36 the plant lost power from the 330 kV “Ferosplavna-1” line; an automatic reclosure attempt was unsuccessful.
It is emphasized that this is already the sixteenth instance of a complete loss of the plant’s external power supply since the beginning of this year. It is summarized that operating in blackout mode creates a direct risk of failure of the nuclear fuel cooling systems in the event of diesel-generator failure or exhaustion of their capacity, which could lead to a radiological accident. Earlier, the IAEA reported troubling news from the Zaporizhzhia NPP.
