Overview

• IAEA on-site experts confirmed the emergency diesel generators were started after the loss of external electricity.
• The plant’s press service said operations required for safety are stable and the situation remains under control.
• Plant officials attributed the outage to Ukrainian fire that disabled the 750 kV Dniprovska transmission line, a claim not independently verified in the reports provided.
• Communications director Evgenia Yashina said fuel stocks can power the generators for about 20 days and a plan exists to deliver additional fuel if needed.
• This marks the tenth external power loss since the conflict began, and IAEA highlighted persistent nuclear-safety risks as redundancy remains reduced with the Ferrosplavnaya-1 reserve line out since May.
