Ukrainian nuclear power plant without external power for over a week

The Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in southeastern Ukraine has remained without external power for over a week, relying solely on emergency diesel generators. This marks the 27th such incident since Russia's full-scale invasion began in February 2022. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which has maintained a presence at the site since September 2022, reported that the plant requires continuous power to maintain reactor cooling and prevent potential meltdowns. Despite receiving diesel supplies from an alternative off-site location recently, the plant continues to face critical challenges. Both Ukraine and Russia have accused each other of targeting the facility, with recent drone attacks causing injuries and raising concerns about safety. Ukrainian officials claim these actions constitute nuclear blackmail against Ukraine and Europe.
