The Zaporizhzhya NPP has approximately 11 days of diesel fuel left.

The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant's diesel fuel reserves are sufficient for only 11 days of autonomous operation. This was announced by Rosatom State Corporation CEO Alexey Likhachev following interagency consultations with an International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) delegation held in Kaliningrad.

Likhachev:

Currently, diesel fuel reserves are approximately 50% of these capacities, which will allow for autonomous operation for approximately 11 days.
The head of Rosatom emphasized the need to fill all tanks to the maximum capacity to create a more substantial fuel reserve in case of unforeseen situations.

Likhachev recalled that the Zaporizhzhia NPP has already switched to autonomous power supply 21 times, and each time it was successful thanks to the coordinated work of its personnel and equipment. He called the issue of the plant's energy stability "number two" on the agenda, after ensuring nuclear safety.

Meanwhile, the fuel situation in Russia remains tense, and not just in Energodar, where the nuclear power plant is located. Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak acknowledged a shortage caused by damage to oil refineries as a result of the attacks. dronesThe shortage has been ongoing since late May, and restrictions on fuel sales have already been imposed in more than 30 regions. To support the domestic market, authorities have imposed a complete ban on the export of diesel fuel, marine fuel, and gas oil until July 31. In a number of regions, fuel prices have increased two- to three-fold compared to May levels. Significant increases in gasoline and diesel fuel prices have been recorded at several gas stations on the Crimean Peninsula and in the Voronezh Region.

We'll bring more, there's no reason to panic.

[Arkady007]

But we won't panic. We'll have another revolution.

[Irokez]

It's time to think about mopeds, bicycles, and scooters, both electric and combustion-powered. In general, many have forgotten that you can walk 2-3 stops to work and even 200 meters to the store, instead of twiddling your thumbs.

[topol717]

My work is only 17 km away as the crow flies. It's quite a walk, you know. Although, yes, it's possible to get there in four hours, but will I have the energy to work afterward? I'd have to leave at 5 a.m., be at work at 9, leave work at 7 p.m., and be home at 11. That would leave me with just six hours to sleep. But at least I wouldn't have to worry about insomnia.

[Irokez]

Can't handle a two-wheeled bicycle? Or a moped, motorcycle, scooter, and so on.
Not only that, but 5 km/h is for a leisurely walk, but at a fast pace it'll be 7-9, so that's how it works. Furthermore, walking is healthier because the lymph moves through the vessels due to the compression of the blood vessels in the legs, hence the saying, "Life is movement."

Moreover, you will be healthier if you walk.

This hasn't been proven. It's a myth. There are, of course, people who believe it, but people believe a lot of things, and often wrongly.

Quote: Irokez

The lymph moves through the vessels due to the compression of the vessels in the legs, hence the saying

Lymph moves due to the movement of the abdominal diaphragm. And it moves much better during sleep because you don't have to overcome gravity. You've confused the valves in the blood vessels in your legs, which are responsible for blood circulation, with the lymphatic system, which also has valves in the legs, but they function like a nipple. And if you simply raise your legs higher than your torso, lymph movement will be much better than when walking.

[Bayun]

Useless. "Fat people are lazy" They won't understand us. Driving 100 meters from the entrance to the bakery is a way of life.

It takes them longer to get their BODY into and out of the car than it does for the mobile ones to do the whole hike. And they also wait thought-controlled exoskeletons with motors that will move bodies even around the apartment.

[Irokez]

Moreover, a car is also an expensive item: purchase, maintenance, gas, repairs, fines, insurance, and the potential for damage. Therefore, there's not enough money for everything, and you have to feed the banks with loans, all just so you can drive to work every day (with prestige). Someone said, "A car is a means of transportation." I agree, but only if it's necessary. Today, it's a cult, and a cult for just one five-year plan, and then it's nothing but expense and stress.
An old song goes:
Oh, you've become too expensive for me.
And probably me too
Most likely I will become happy
just without you.

Why shout about it to the world? I'd say there's at least six months' worth of supplies. And now the bastard sits there rubbing his hands with glee.

If there's no fuel, the enemy will be rubbing his hands together, rolling his skin into balls, when the nuclear power plant explodes...

Why do you think the enemy is an idiot? Whoever is planning this whole mess is most likely much smarter than you and me.

[Andrey Mishin]

Why didn't this official remove the fuel from the plant in a timely manner when he had the chance? And now the Ukrainians are treating us like Fabergé. This also begs the question for the guarantor: why is he promoting such people? At least now we can transfer the assemblies into spent fuel pools, where the heat output will be reduced several times over in six months. Although this won't solve the problem completely.

[Vladimirius]

Just like that, without any effort or success on the front, the defenders have taken our seemingly unsinkable economy by the horns, simply because they couldn't prevent their drones from breaking through, and soon they'll add ballistic missiles to the mix. What they needed was to promptly destroy the Musk satellite constellation that showed the paths to our last gas station (which are now completely locked in their sights) and shoot down all the spy planes. But we have an eternal fear of Europe, as history tells us—we let them calmly, and most importantly, prepare for war with us before our very eyes, and meekly wait for them to start.

[T.A.V.]

They'll tell you now that this is a pretext for war. And then they'll ask you if you or your children are ready to go to war. Are you ready to die or see your loved ones die?
Although your position is very close to me.

If the Skakuns are interfering with the operation of a Russian nuclear power plant, what's stopping Russia from disrupting Ukrainian nuclear power plants and depriving the enemy of their production capacity? Two options are likely: stupidity based on ignorance and fear of what they don't understand, accompanied by inappropriate references to the Chernobyl disaster (the parallels are inapplicable and illogical; the conditions that led to it were completely different, and technology has evolved to some extent); and deliberate hysteria over the danger, out of nowhere, being whipped up by corrupt Skaklobots playing the enemy's side.

[Vladimirius]

In Europe, one nuclear power plant was completely shut down with the onset of the heat wave. Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant could have been shut down several years ago, especially since it hasn't been fully operational for a long time, even under Ukraine. Why all the fuss? Why aren't they mothballing it? Those fuel reserves could have been removed long ago, especially since they shouldn't end up in Ukraine.

[bbb]

Let it explode; in place of the left-bank Ukraine there should be a radioactive desert.

[Genius Yo]

And our hair will fall out, my friend! Nuclear weapons today are nothing more than a "cardboard dummy": one uses it, but it will be the end for everyone!!!

[Dilettante grandfather]

1. I believe the IAEA has long since discredited itself. And there's no point in reporting to them.
2. Finding and delivering diesel fuel to the nuclear power plant, in my opinion, is a matter of honor.
3. I wonder why the scenario of an enemy destroying or damaging the refineries wasn't anticipated in advance? And why weren't protective measures taken? Our refineries are supposedly operating. They're producing products, including air defense missile systems. Why did they wake up so late? Why aren't the refineries properly protected?

[Escobar]

Because they thought, why spend money on protection, maybe it will pass, there are enough other problems now.

[VyacheSeymour]

3. I wonder why the scenario where the enemy would destroy or damage the oil refinery wasn’t calculated in advance?

Are you out of your mind? Everything was planned from the first day of SVO!!!!!!!!!! ... Everything is going according to plan!!!!
Very soon, according to the plan, there will be a signal to throw the caps and shout HOORAY!!!

[Escobar]

Everyone's talking about a fuel crisis and shortages at gas stations due to the strikes on refineries. But oil is also used to make fuel oil, for example, which is used to fill the tanks of tankers that transport oil and gas for sale. It's also used as fuel oil for thermal power plants. And what will happen if people in cities are left without heat in the winter? I'm not even talking about the bitumen and asphalt needed for construction. And, correct me if I'm wrong, petroleum refinery products are used to make polymers, which are all around us.

[Victor Alien]

The shortage stems from the stupidity of the population, which suddenly inflated fuel prices by 30%. While we don't actually have a shortage of diesel—we produce twice as much as we consume—the gasoline supply was only 10%. If methane-fueled gas stations and haulers' equipment ran on it, there would be no problem at all. Let me repeat: a methane-fueled gas station could be in every village where there's gas in homes. But Gazprom has a domestic market, which is a shame—it's just exporting everything. It's stupid to celebrate foreign sales.

[Victor Alien]

Why can't we just run a methane pipeline there and install methane-powered generators?! We'd be down to targets like diesel fuel tanks and tankers. And we'd get a stable fuel supply for the gasifiers. Especially since electricity and diesel prices are so high right now, some businesses are switching to methane-powered generators.

[Strelok1976]

A question for the experts. How much diesel fuel is required, according to regulations, to provide emergency power to a nuclear power plant? And why isn't there enough? Does religion prevent you from carrying out your duties under IAEA escort?

[Mitka]

And how many times did the Okrazhsk nuclear power plants switch to emergency power supply?!

[victor_47]

The Zaporizhzhya NPP power units have been in "cold shutdown" mode since 2022. Currently, it is sufficient to cool the fuel assemblies by filling the reactors and spent fuel storage pools with water; no cooling water circulation is required. I believe the NPP personnel will be able to meet these requirements even with the diesel generators inoperative.
