Zaporozhye NPP is completely disconnected from the Ukrainian energy system

This morning, the Zaporizhzhya NPP turned out to be de-energized due to the shutdown of the last line that feeds the station from Ukraine. The incident has already been commented on by Energoatom and Rosenergoatom.

A representative of a Ukrainian energy company said that the shutdown of the ZNPP was allegedly due to today's missile strike by the Russian Armed Forces. At the same time, he noted that the fifth and sixth power units of the power plant are already being transferred to a "cold state", and the ZNPP is currently powered by 18 diesel generators.

In turn, the complete cessation of power supply to the power plant by Ukraine was confirmed by Rosenergoatom. According to the adviser to the head of the company Renat Karchaa, a short circuit occurred on the line of the South Ukrainian NPP - Dnepropetrovsk substation, writes Interfax.

At the same time, as a representative of Rosenergoatom explained, the above-mentioned line does not provide direct power to ZNPP. Meanwhile, the supply of electricity to the station was lost precisely after a short circuit on the aforementioned main. The causes of the incident are being investigated.

It is worth noting that Karchaa confirmed the transfer of ZNPP power to diesel power generators. At the same time, the Ukrainian Energoatom warned that the fuel reserves at the power plant would be enough for about 10 days of operation in this mode. Then, as company representatives put it, if during this period the full power of the facility is not restored, literally, “an accident with radiation consequences for the whole world” may occur.

That's what needed to be proven. With nuclear power plants there is a completely different story. They have a feature that it is impossible for generation to work what is called "no load". Be sure to discard the excess. All these troubles with the basic and maneuvering mode. Today's blow, apparently, cut off the station from the network, so it had to be transferred to generators. Well, there the experts will later explain the consequences, but the main thing here is something else - indirectly, this still indicates the effectiveness of today's strike on the energy system. When transformers "fly out" in the system, then a chain of short circuits and accidents can go on.
But we all know how cleverly the Sumerian air defense learned to shoot down our missiles ... with the help of transformers ...

I don’t think that during the shelling of Ukraine, ours did not foresee the possible case of a de-energization of the ZNPP.
It must be assumed that we are still talking about an elementary amateur sabotage on power lines by some sickened, poorly educated young Ukrainian Nazi idiots who do not know and do not understand what they are doing in the end.

Let us recall, for example, how Nazi Ukrainian gangs repeatedly undermined power lines in the Kherson region, which supplied electricity to the Russian Crimea in 2014-2016.

[credo]

If we do not move the Armed Forces of Ukraine 200-300 km away from the ZNPP, then the issue of closing the station will rise to its full height.
You need to think about both options now, since you didn’t think it through before the start of the NWO.
The Yankees, through the hands of the Armed Forces of Ukraine or the SBU, will definitely try to further undermine the ZNPP, so the issue of its continued existence must be addressed immediately.

[Shurik70]

Interesting, however, the war is on.
Full-fledged military operations, missile strikes, terrorist attacks.
The number of deaths alone is in the hundreds of thousands.
And - energy goes from them to our power plant, gas goes from us to them.
The leaders of foreign states go to the enemy capital as if they were going to their own home.

[solar]

it is impossible to generate what is called "no load".

She didn't work under load. The line was used to power the NPP's own needs to ensure the safety of the units. Now, while the generators are working for this, how much fuel is enough.

[Uprun]

And during the year of being at the station, this option was not considered? Backup power, lines .... It's strange, like adult uncles and aunts rule, or maybe the author is catching up with the "blizzard" .....

[Bayun]

The option to "put down" all the NPPs of the country-U is one of the options for the adversary's plan. To turn the lands between the Russian Federation and Poland into "Chernobyl", blaming the poor fellow-U - an excellent "combat draw" in the confrontation between the Russian Federation and the West. No country - no problem.

[Quote Lavrov]

Turn the territory of the largest country in Europe (except the Russian Federation) into Chernobyl? And spitting on the wind rose, and on the currents of rivers, including underground ones, and on millions of people's lives ...
Your relatives, for an hour, did not register a patent for gas chambers?

If we remember that the main beneficiaries of the conflict in Ukraine are sitting on the island and across the ocean, then the issue of Europe's security from nuclear contamination becomes less relevant for those interested.

[GUSAR]

Did you turn on the light? Appeared again...

[dmi.pris1]

I have a question for our power engineers. A little less than a year has passed since the liberation of Energodar. Organize a line to connect the station's units for our own needs?

[I dare to_notice_]

Probably the IAEA does not allow.
Otherwise, it can be explained with only one word "Sabotage".

[dmi.pris1]

Hmm .. Has this "agency" already moved to Moscow? If without banter, then such carelessness is generally inexplicable

[Old_geologist]

I also don't understand why this hasn't been done in a long time. It is clear that it is dangerous to work, sometimes they shoot, but others work. So what to do? It is necessary to somehow connect to Russian networks, and it will be safer for nuclear power plants, and electricity will go for good.

[aakvit]

And to the west, i.e. into the sebaceous, why supply energy ?! They are from Donetsk, meaning, to the basements, and we are to the oil seals - give you energy, eat, don't get dirty! This is generally HOW to understand?!!!
And the station must be urgently connected to Russian networks and supply energy to Donetsk and everyone else, but OWN!

[Quote Lavrov]

It is necessary, of course, to look at the balance of ee (m), but it seems that objectively, such a volume of generation in the network is simply not needed. Yes, and investments in the restoration of the network infrastructure will be simply huge.
But I repeat, you need to look at the numbers, otherwise all these arguments are worthless.

[alexmach]

I don't understand why this hasn't been done in a long time.

Offhand
- indefinite statute of the city and station, until autumn.
- shortage of generating capacities and infrastructure. Where is the nearest controlled power supply?
- Connectivity with Ukrainian energy infrastructure
- lack of staff
- the presence of more priority infrastructure tasks, such as the rebuilding of the same Mariupol ...

[solar]

Where is the nearest controlled power supply?

Kakhovka

[alexmach]

Uh-huh .. organize a line, to connect .. that's just where?

[Alexga]

One gets the impression that everyone is worried about the station, but no one is responsible. Either the management company does not want to invest in security, or the future fate of the station is sad. And so it turns out only to raise the degree in their society, for the Ukrainian side, this is all just a joy. And yet, I would like to see direct links to the statements of officials.

[DefenderofTruth]

It is worth noting that Karchaa confirmed the transfer of ZNPP power to diesel power generators. At the same time, the Ukrainian Energoatom warned that the fuel reserves at the power plant would be enough for about 10 days of operation in this mode.

Why weren't all the power units of the Zaporizhzhya NPP located in the combat zone shut down by 100% last summer?
And what will happen when the diesel fuel on diesel generators runs out or they come under fire and fail?

[Pattor]

Apparently everyone is interested and looking forward to it

[aakvit]

To stop it, it is necessary not only to shut down the reactors, but also to resolve the issue of incompletely spent fuel - to withdraw it, bring it for processing or disposal, and what else is needed - not a specialist, I don’t know, but, apparently, not everything is so simple, they say, a button pressed - and enough! This is not a thermal power plant, after all ...

[opposite28]

Strangely, Rosenergoatom, knowing that adverse consequences could arise due to the unpredictability of the actions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, did not begin to completely bring the reactors into a "cold state" immediately after the change in the leadership of the Zaporizhzhya NPP.

[jaroff]

I didn't understand. ZNPP itself generates and supplies electricity. So she herself, first of all, must use her energy for her internal needs. Technically it's elementary

Just for you elementary...
The USSR closed the energy ring. Turning off one link is almost impossible. The Balts cut off for 30 years - until they cut off.
Moreover, for those reasons, we could not cut them off and they could not cut themselves off from us
And yes, a nuclear power plant cannot produce 2 buckets of electricity only for its own needs, technically it cannot. There is a lower bar for generating a lot ....

[solar]

She doesn't work out. Blocks are off. Food for own needs was from the right bank of the Dnieper, from the Ukrainian side.

[opposite28]

It's time to remove the battery from the car and prepare lead underwear, as well as run to the pharmacy for iodine.

[Vasilenko Vladimir]

and also run to the pharmacy for iodine.

do you know how to take it?

[Michael]

Sosem recently watched a very interesting video about wild cows in the Chernobyl exclusion zone.

[Vasilenko Vladimir]

And what about wild cows?!!!
give wild milk and glow at night?!!!!

[Kvakosavrus]

oh, as if we don’t have enough videos about wild Sumerians in the Little Russian exclusion zone ...

[Vasilenko Vladimir]

one simple question, why are they still not pulling a stationary line to power the Zaporizhzhya NPP from our networks?!!!!

[solar]

Because they don't want to invest in the station. And so its content is expensive.

[Vasilenko Vladimir]

what do you mean they don't want to?
if not needed, dismantle, you need to run

All is unlikely.
But if there is an incident at the ZNPP through the fault of Kyiv,
then for the sake of saving the world from nuclear terrorists
Russia will have the right and even the obligation to use tactical nuclear weapons.
