Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Plant Enters Eighth Day on Diesel Power as IAEA Seeks Grid Reconnection
Emergency diesel generators have kept Europe’s largest nuclear plant safe for seven days amid ongoing Russian shelling that prevents power line repairs, IAEA and Zelensky said.
- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Sept. 30 that the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant has been cut off from the electrical grid for seven consecutive days, marking the longest outage since the Russian invasion began in 2022.
- Zelensky warned that the facility, Europe's largest nuclear plant, is reliant on diesel generators after Russian strikes severed its external power lines, creating a critical situation.
- He accused Russia of obstructing repairs through continued shelling, stating: 'No terrorist in the world has ever dared to do to a nuclear plant what Russia is doing right now.'
- IAEA chief Rafael Grossi mentioned he is in constant contact with both countries to enable a swift restoration of the plant's power supply.
