The Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant experienced its twentieth complete loss of external power since February 2022. This latest disconnection occurred on June 20th, raising renewed concerns about the plant’s safety and security. The loss of external power relies the plant on emergency diesel generators to maintain critical cooling functions, preventing a potential nuclear accident. International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) experts continue to monitor the situation closely, emphasizing the precariousness of relying on backup systems for prolonged periods. The repeated power outages highlight the vulnerability of the plant amidst the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. The cause of this specific outage has not been immediately detailed, but previous incidents have been linked to fighting and damage to energy infrastructure. This event underscores the urgent need for a demilitarized zone around the facility to ensure its safe operation.
