Zaporizhzhia cooling pond depletion, fuel shortage raise nuclear safety risk

Ukraine's intelligence and the IAEA report that the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant faces a growing safety risk: the cooling pond level is dropping, the plant depends on a single external power line, and its diesel fuel reserve has not been resupplied for months. Russia is reportedly short of diesel and staff, compounding the risk of a nuclear incident. The situation is deteriorating but the immediate operational status of the plant remains uncertain.
