Zaporozhye Regional Chief Executive Balitsky, appointed by the Russian side, said on the 13th local time that early in the morning of the same day, two external transmission lines were disconnected at the same time, causing the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant to lose its external power supply. Meanwhile, the backup diesel generator started automatically, all systems were in normal operation, and no damage to the safe operation of the nuclear power plant was recorded. Balitsky said that the external power supply to the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant has now been completely restored. The backup diesel generator has been switched to standby mode, all safety systems are operating normally, and radiation levels are within normal ranges. The relevant departments are investigating the reason for the disconnection of external transmission lines.
