Amid ongoing tensions, the Russian-installed management of Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant announced the imminent operational status of two backup generators. These generators, once repaired, will address the ongoing power shortage that has persisted for over a week.
The lack of external power, caused by shelling severing an external power line, has threatened nuclear safety at the Zaporizhzhia plant. However, officials reassured that all safety functions remain operational under current management.
Despite the challenging circumstances, the plant continues to be cooled using emergency diesel generators. The commitment to restore power ensures the facility's safety mechanisms remain uncompromised.
