Zaporizhzhia NPP runs on diesel after blackout

The Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) in Ukraine was forced to rely on emergency diesel generators for 90 minutes following a power line failure. The incident on April 26 marked the 15th complete blackout at the facility since Russia's full-scale invasion began in 2022. The failure of the Ferosplavna-1 line highlights the persistent vulnerability of the plant's external power supply, which is critical for maintaining reactor safety. The same day, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with international partners, though the specific agenda of that meeting was not detailed in this report.
