ZNPP loses external power supply, switches to diesel generators

According to Ukrinform, this was reported by Ukraine's National Nuclear Energy Generating Company Energoatom on Facebook . At 02:36 on November 8, the plant lost power from the last remaining operational 330 kV Ferrosplavna-1 power line, which connected it to Ukraine's power grid. An attempt to automatically reconnect the line was unsuccessful. The plant's own power needs are now being met solely by backup diesel generators.

A loss of power at the plant poses a critical threat to nuclear and radiation safety," the energy company emphasized.
