Ukraine’s Zaporizhia NPP (ZNPP) suffered a complete loss of external power for 11 hours recently, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi said in his latest update. This forced the plant to rely on emergency diesel generators for reactor cooling and other essential nuclear safety and security functions. ZNPP lost all off-site electricity at the site when its last remaining 750 kilovolt (kV) line was disconnected following reports of missile strikes across Ukraine. This was the sixth time the plant has been running on emergency diesel generators during the ongoing military conflict, he told the IAEA Board of Governors.

Russia is building protective structures to shield the used fuel storage facility at the Zaporizhzhia NPP (ZNPP). This is according to Vladimir Rogov, a member of the main council of Zaporozhye, who posted a short video of the work that’s taking place on his Telegram channel. It showed technicians setting up shields over the tanks that hold used nuclear fuel. The dome is designed to protect the storage facilities from shrapnel and improvised explosive devices carried by drones, he explained, adding that it would be further reinforced further at a later period. The video showed workers mounting a screen of transparent sheeting on wires above dozens of concrete cylinders about 5 metres high.
