Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant loses main external power line once again: IAEA - China.org.cn

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said on Saturday that the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine has once again lost connection to its last remaining main external power line but the facility continues to supply electricity to the grid through a reserve line.

The agency's experts stationed at the Zaporizhzhia plant were told by Ukrainian staff on Saturday that the facility's fourth, which is also the last still operational, 750-kilovolt power line was down. A similar incident occurred last week amid shelling on the plant.

The three other main external power lines were lost earlier during the Russia-Ukraine conflict, according to an IAEA statement.
