Zaporozhye NPP was again left without external power supply, the station was switched to a backup diesel generator.
The reason for the interruption in the power supply was damage to the Ferrosplavnaya-1 power line, from which the station is powered. The second supply line to the Zaporizhia station, the Dniprovskaya power line, was repaired in the summer, but Ukraine never supplied it with voltage.
The location and nature of the damage to Ferrosplavnaya, as well as the timing of the restoration of power supply, will be known after the inspection.
The IAEA team located at the Zaporozhye station was notified of the shutdown of the external power supply to the station.
