Due to the missile attacks of the Russians, the supply of Zaporizhzhia NPPʼs own needs from the power system has also been stopped. The station went into full blackout mode. All her diesel generators are in operation.

"Energoatom" stated that the radiation background at the NPP sites and adjacent territories has not changed, all indicators are normal.
