The Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant temporarily lost all off-site power twice this week after its last remaining off-site power line was disconnected.
“The repeated losses of external power once again highlight the vulnerability of the ZNPP amid the ongoing conflict and the persistent risks to nuclear safety and security,” IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi said. “Both Ukraine and the Russian Federation continue to engage constructively with the IAEA in negotiations for a temporary ceasefire so that repair work can begin to restore the main off-site power line as soon as conditions allow.” The main off-site 750 kV Dniprovska power line has been disconnected since 24 March 2026.
