KYIV: The International Atomic Energy Agency said on Saturday Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant lost off-site power for the 20th time during the conflict with Russia due to an issue with the site’s internal power lines affecting its only remaining 330 kV connection, Ferosplavna-1.
The Zaporizhzhya NPP today lost off-site power for the 20th time during the military conflict, once again underlining the precarious nuclear safety situation at the site.
