Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant loses main external power line once again: IAEA

1. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said on Saturday that the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine has once again lost connection to its last remaining main external power line but the facility continues to supply electricity to the grid through a reserve line.

The agency's experts stationed at the Zaporizhzhia plant were told by Ukrainian staff on Saturday that the facility's fourth, which is also the last still operational, 750-kilovolt power line was down.

A similar incident occurred last week amid shelling on the plant.The three other main external power lines were lost earlier during the Russia-Ukraine conflict, according to an IAEA statement.

2. The power supply from the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant (ZNPP) to Kiev-controlled territories has been suspended after the power transmission line was damaged by Ukrainian shelling, the administration of the city of Enerhodar told Sputnik.

"Specialists are working on the power transmission lines previously damaged by Ukrainian shelling.

Damage was registered on lines 330 and 750... Specialists on the ground report that, taking into account technological features, the power output generated by the power units varies. The supply of electricity to the territories under Ukrainian control has been suspended due to technical difficulties," the administration said.

According to the local authorities, the fifth and sixth power units of the ZNPP are in working order and the radiation level is normal.
