The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine has switched to emergency backup power following a disruption to its external electricity supply. Critical cooling systems are currently being sustained by on-site diesel generators. However, safety concerns have escalated as diesel fuel reserves are running low, raising the risk of potential operational failures if external grid power is not re-established quickly. International monitors continue to highlight the precarious safety situation at Europe’s largest nuclear facility.
- The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant has lost its connection to the main external power grid.
- Emergency diesel generators are currently operating to power essential reactor cooling and safety systems.
- Available on-site diesel fuel supplies are running low, limiting the duration the plant can rely on emergency generation.
- Restoration of off-site power lines is required to stabilize the plant and prevent potential nuclear safety hazards.

they are trying to say, could be another Fukushima disaster ..
russian war criminals are dismissing the IAEA's dire warnings and rejecting local ceasefire proposals intended to prevent a nuclear catastrophe ‼️
No mention that zelensky's regime have been attacking this nuclear power plant for 4 years now, putting all of Europe at risk
Thank you so much for this explanation! I just wish you hadn't interrupted him when he was describing what would happen when the core melted through the outer container. I think that's the crucial part, right?
Though I understand that interviews are hard with such delays due to distance.
Zelensky’s last game changer!! He should put all his troops to recapture it!!? 😂😂😂
Ukraine zaporizhia power plant? Lmao when was this plant Ukrainian
And who exactly is now shooting at nuclear power plant…!? Russians are owning the place and shooting themselves at the same time!?
Let's not forget that Russia doesn't have a very good track record when it comes to averting nuclear catastrophes either.
Between Putin and Trump the world is in a very dangerous place right now!!! it’s now time that NATO said this is in all our interests to put troops in Ukraine and start to drive Putins forces back to Russia, UNLESS WE ALL WANT TO DIE THAT IS????????????????
Humans ruling humans have painted themselves into a corner. “It DOES NOT BELONG TO MAN to direct his own step.”

Russia makes it very easy for the ENTIRE world to HATE them SOOO MUCH!!!
take that bogus "nuclear meltdown" sensationalism and shove it. "Don't recommend channel."
Well, once the global nuclear war is underway it will matter less.
If they use Graphite rods , is it not just 72 hours before the rods get too hot to contain and they crack without fresh cold water. ?
Then a gas build up, high pressure and heat expands , goes boom, cracks a tower and releases into the air Before the containment melts ?
Curious ,
❤Thank you Germany for shutting down all nuclear power plants and relying solely on Whimsical Powers!❤
This has been a issue for as long as the conflict has been going on.
The solution is to fully shut down all nuclear power plants permanently, if a military conflict occurs.
In this scenario there really isn’t any emergency situation.
Fear mongers…
Russia created one Chornobyl, why wouldn't it trigger another one?
Ukrainians have been shelling the plant for past couple of years and MSM media has been pretending as if Russians are shelling themselves. Ukraine sees benefit of Russia having to maintain the whole thing that is just costing money and resources.
This is what the CIA director talked with putin , putin and trump are friends , he wants putin to create a catastrophe forcing europe to enter the conflict so trump can declare state of emergency and not run elections , trump wants to be a dictator , and needs help from his dictator friend . A huge radioactive cloud over europe will force europe to enter the conflict , to stop it , no choice no alternative , nato countries will go in article 5 , trump will remain president , there will be no ellections in USA , this is what CIA talked with Putin .
Correct! Terrorists have occupied Europe's largest nuclear plant since years ago and our leaders continue to fail to protect us. It is like this because we consistently vote for it. Solution is to defeat Russia, which you'll have to vote for.
10:30 Are you sickos really both siding this?
Diesel generator? The Russian usually use steam engines with coal as fuel.
Folks, there are many different types of nuclear power plants. Zhaporizhzhia is a rather old one, and requires the nuclear rods to be cooled.
Modern Reactors are not so unsafe. They shut down naturally when there is a problem.
The CLOCK is TICKING 😮
Every one trust Mr Putin. West keeps lying
Sooner Moscow ends this war, the better, for all… 🙏❤️🏴
Russia telling the world that everything's alright with a nuclear reactor in Ukraine, where have I seen that movie before???
RUN !
Russia saying a npp situation is under control.. Thats what they told us in 1986 🤔
Just connect it to the power grid, problem solved 🤔
Let's get this STRAIGHT! The Russian side controls the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant and the Russian side has a very limited amount of diesel. It is the Russian side that chooses to use their diesel for something else, diverting it away from protecting the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant. No doubt the Russian side diverts the limited diesel that they have to their own army.
Russians trying to Chernobyl 2.0
It appears that the agenda of this narrative is to get support to get the nuclear plant back online so it can supply electricity to The Ukraine electricity grid.
😂😂😂
Cry baby cry
When this nightmare is over? Ukraine should give or build a permanent home for the IAEA, so that they are there on the ground so to speak also a nukelear university too.👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇺🇦🇺🇦🇬🇧🇬🇧🇺🇦🇺🇦🌹🌹
"Give us the nuclear catastrophe answer I'm fishing for"
Zelensky is responsible for this

He does his best not to use the word 'meltdown' but that is the risk.
I guess Ukriane killing the chief engineer at the Pa,to doesn’t help.
DW didn’t report that for some reason.
Zap’d 😂
The presenter wanted to hear that nuclear will go kaboom therefore he keeps cutting off his guest
How will the Nuclear power plant run it lost all its power ?
Will DW ask such question if the plant was were under Ukraine control ?
