Zaporozhzhia NPP Faces Power Outage in 10 Days
Yashina stated that existing diesel fuel reserves are limited, but linking the current situation to an inevitable complete shutdown of the station within a specific timeframe is incorrect.
Consensus
- The Zaporozhzhia Nuclear Power Station has been without external electricity supply for over a week.
- The station relies on emergency diesel generators to maintain critical safety functions.
- Diesel fuel reserves at the plant are sufficient for only about 10 more days.
- Without external power restoration or additional diesel fuel deliveries, the plant may face complete power outage within 10 days.
- IAEA is working on establishing another local de-escalation zone to facilitate repair of the 'Ferrosplavna-1' transmission line.
- The 'Ferrosplavna-1' 330 kV transmission line was lost on August 20.
