Russians shell the ZNPP again: there is an emergency start-up of diesel generators

Energoatom reports in Telegram.

 "Today, September 21, at 01:13 a.m., as a result of another shelling of the Zaporizhzhia NPP by Russian terrorists, the communication equipment of power unit No. 6 with the open switchgear of the ZNPP was damaged," the statement says.

As a result, the block transformer and transformers of the power unit's needs were turned off. The loss of power caused the emergency start of two diesel generators of the safety systems to ensure the operation of the fuel cooling pumps.

 At 02:00 a.m., the station's employees set up power supply for power unit No. 6's needs from the bus system of other power units of the station. The diesel generators of the 6th power unit were turned off and put into standby mode.

 Energoatom notes that Russian occupiers continue to commit nuclear terrorism at Ukrainian nuclear plants, even despite the presence of IAEA inspectors at the ZNPP.

 "From this organization (IAEA, - ed.) we once again expect more decisive actions to stop Russia's aggressive actions against civilian nuclear facilities of Ukraine and a help in the deoccupation of the ZNPP and establish a nuclear and physical security zone around the nuclear power plants of Ukraine!"  - Energoatom emphasized.
