The Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Plant occupied by Russia in southern Ukraine, was left disconnected from the Ukrainian electricity grid, The Russian occupation administration reported on Monday.
“Due to the outage of the Dniprovska high-voltage line (connected to a power plant in the Dnipro region) the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant lost external power supply,” the Russian administration said on Telegram.
The plant’s emergency diesel generators have been turned on to ensure its operation, he added.
These generators typically have fuel to run for several days, it was noted.
“The level of radiation at the plant (…) is within the norms,” added the administration, linked to the Russian state group rosatom.
It is officially about the seventh time the huge nuclear complex has been isolated of the electricity grid since it was occupied by the Russian army on March 4, 2022.
The previous blackout, at the beginning of March, was caused by a wave of Russian missile attacks, according to the Ukrainian state operator energoatom.
External power was restored after a few hours.
The plant, which produced 20% of Ukraine’s electricity, continued to operate in the first months of the Russian offensive, despite periods of bombing, before being shut down in September.
Since then, none of its six Soviet-era VVER-1000 reactors have generated power, but the plant remains connected to the Ukrainian power system and consumes the electricity it produces for its own needs, including cooling the reactors.
