International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Grossi issued a statement on August 29 saying that the external power supply to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant has been interrupted for more than a week, and currently relies on emergency diesel generators to maintain the electricity required for nuclear safety and security. The agency warned that if external power supply cannot be restored or diesel is not restored in the near future, the power plant may face the risk of losing power throughout the station after about 10 days. The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant announced on August 29 that the current on-site diesel reserves can maintain operation for about 10 days and have met the minimum regulatory requirements. The International Atomic Energy Agency said that the most recent supply of diesel fuel for the power plant was in March of this year, and the subsequent supply scheduled for May was delayed due to frequent local military activities.
