The International Atomic Energy Agency said the plant lost off-site electricity after the Ferosplavna power line disconnected. Although the reactors are not generating electricity, they still require a stable power supply to keep nuclear fuel cool; backup generators are therefore being used while the external connection remains unavailable. The development is especially urgent because the facility has experienced previous power losses during the war, and prolonged reliance on generators could increase operational and fuel-supply risks.[1]
