Zaporizhzhia NPP without power for over 72 hours: IAEA warns of disaster risk

According to glavcom.ua: The situation at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant remains critical: there has been no external power supply for over three days, and the plant is operating on emergency diesel generators. Experts are seriously concerned about the situation and fear a possible nuclear accident.

Western experts suspect that Moscow is deliberately creating a crisis to strengthen control over the facility. There are fears that Russia may attempt to restart one of the reactors and connect it to its power grid, despite the ongoing military actions.

According to Greenpeace data, the situation at the plant is critical, and the potential consequences are unknown. Only time will show how the NPP will cope with the extremely complex situation without external electricity supply.

The crisis at the Zaporizhzhia NPP has raised a serious alarm about the possible risk of a nuclear accident, which could have severe consequences for Ukrainians and the environment. The actions of Russian occupiers pose a threat to security not only in the region but also in Europe as a whole.
