Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Plant loses external power again as backup generators take over
The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant lost external power at 02:36 on November 8 after the 330 kV Ferosplavna-1 transmission line was disconnected. Automatic reconnection failed, leaving the plant to rely entirely on backup diesel generators. Ukraine’s nuclear energy operator says the blackout creates a critical nuclear and radiation safety risk.
