IAEA Chief Warns Zaporizhzhia NPP Diesel Shortage Threatens Safety

IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi reports that the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant is running low on diesel fuel for emergency generators, with some units on standby. This is a continuation of ongoing safety concerns at the plant, but the explicit warning about fuel shortages signals a potential degradation of backup power capability. The situation matters because a loss of emergency power at a nuclear facility could lead to a severe accident, with regional and global implications.
