Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--The external power supply to the Chernobyl nuclear power station in Ukraine has been cut again, according to multiple news accounts.
Ukrainian transmission system operator Ukrenergo reported the facility was relying on power from electricity from diesel generators on Monday, after transmission lines to the facility were damaged again. The turn of events occurred after repairs to the transmission lines were completed on Sunday, following damage that occurred last week. For more information, see March 9, 2022, article - Russian-Occupied Chernobyl Nuclear Site Loses Power.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has maintained the disconnection from the grid did not have a critical impact on safety functions at the site, as the volume of cooling water in its spent fuel facility was sufficient to maintain heat removal without a supply of electricity.
