Zaporizhzhia NPP lost external power twice in a single day
Occupying a nuclear power plant is already a recipe for disaster, but running it like a flickering desk lamp is a whole new level of incompetence.
The occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant managed to drop its external power grid twice in a single Saturday. First, the main supply line cut out in the morning, forcing the station to kick on backup generators. It took nearly an hour to restore grid power, only for everything to collapse again a few hours later.
Emergency diesel generators had to step in both times just to keep basic cooling and safety systems alive. Running Europe’s largest nuclear facility on backup fuel tanks like it’s a food truck during a blackout is now treated as standard operating procedure under Russian control.
Safety management on site seems to consist entirely of hoping the diesel fuel doesn't run out before someone flips the circuit breaker back on.
Nuclear safety is officially being handled with the exact same care as a cheap garage extension.
