Overview

• IAEA teams on site say emergency diesel generators are keeping cooling systems running for now but warn the arrangement is unsustainable and urge swift restoration of offsite power.
• The outage, the plant’s 10th disconnection since the war began, is the longest to date, with the agency noting fuel reserves to operate generators for roughly ten days as units are rotated and serviced.
• Kyiv and Moscow trade blame for the severed Dneprovskaya transmission line and each side accuses the other of shelling that prevents repair crews from restoring the link.
• The EU’s External Action Service called on Russia to halt military activity around the facility to enable urgent repairs and backed IAEA efforts to reestablish secure offsite power.
• All six reactors remain shut down and radiation levels are reported within safe limits, but experts caution that prolonged loss of external power erodes safety margins and increases risk over time.
