The Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant lost its last external power supply due to damage on the Ferroalloy-1 transmission line and switched to backup diesel generators to maintain operations without safety disruptions. Radiation levels remain within safe limits despite the ongoing risk during the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Energy.
