Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Plant blackout lasts over a week, diesel fuel left for 10 days – IAEA

The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant has lacked external power for over a week, relying on emergency diesel generators to cool all six reactors and their spent fuel pools, the IAEA reported.

Director General Rafael Grossi said the plant's fuel reserves could sustain operations for about 10 days, the regulatory minimum, with the last major delivery to off-site storage occurring nearly six months earlier in March.

The IAEA is seeking a localized ceasefire to repair the Ferosplavna-1 power line; the plant has now suffered 27 blackouts since Russia's invasion began.
