Curently, the power plant is de-energizised and stays in blackout mode for the sixth time during the occupation. Units 5 and 6 are being put into cold shutdown, and 18 diesel generators have started operating to supply the plant's in-house loads. There is 10 days’ fuel stock left for their operation. The countdown has begun.
If the off-site power supply to the plant cannot be restored within that time frame, an accident may occurr having radiation consequences for the whole world.
Furthermore, all domestic nuclear power plants located in the territory under control of Ukraine have decreased their power due to the threat of missile attacks. As at 06:30 am, all power units totally supply 4,700 MW to the power grid.
Due to the occupation of the plant and rosatom representatives’ interference in its operation, abilities of the Ukrainian side to maintain ZNPP in a safe mode are significantly limited.
Right now, actions of the whole international community are urgently needed so that ruzzian terrorists’ groups are withdarwn from the territory of Zaporizhzhya NPP, the plant is transferred under the full control of the competent legitimate operator, i.e. Ukrainian Energoatom, and the conditions are re-established to preserve and secure nuclear, radiation and physical safety of the nuclear facility.
