MOSCOW >> The Russian-controlled Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in southeastern Ukraine has lost its external electricity supply and is again using backup generators for reactor cooling, the plant’s management and the UN’s nuclear watchdog said today.
The plant lost connection to its sole 330-kilovolt (kV) external power line, forcing it to rely on emergency diesel generators for cooling and safety functions, the IAEA announced around noon local time. 10 hours later, the IAEA confirmed power had been restored.
