The Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) in Ukraine faced a temporary power outage lasting approximately 20 minutes due to a drone attack on the Nikopolskaya substation, located across the Dnieper River. This incident was reported by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), marking the 17th occasion that the ZNPP has lost off-site power amid the ongoing military conflict in the region. The drone strike led to the disconnection of the plant's only remaining power line, necessitating the activation of emergency diesel generators to ensure the facility continued to receive electricity until the power line could be reconnected. IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi highlighted the incident as a reminder of the constant dangers to nuclear safety posed by the war. He reiterated the urgent need for military restraint to mitigate the risk of a nuclear accident, emphasizing the critical importance of safeguarding nuclear facilities during times of conflict.
