Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, Europe's largest atomic power station, spent hours operating on emergency diesel generators Monday after losing its external power supply for the seventh time since Russia's full-scale invasion of its neighbor.
"The recurrence of blackouts is clearly not sustainable. This is the seventh time the biggest nuclear power plant in Europe is on emergency generators. The time to agree on the protection of the plant is now. It is not impossible. The entire world is looking," Grossi, who is traveling in China, told CBS News' Pamela Falk on Monday morning.

Then, a reactor exploded and spewed deadly radiation, contaminating a vast area in the world's worst nuclear catastrophe.
More Russian military units have been arriving at the site and are mining it, the representative told The Associated Press, speaking on condition of anonymity due to security concerns. But Ukrainian military intelligence officials didn't confirm that Kyiv had deployed saboteurs and claimed that Russian citizens seeking regime change in Moscow were behind the Graivoron attack.

UN watchdog: Ukrainian nuclear plant briefly loses power supply again, is 'extremely vulnerable'Officials say that Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, Europe’s largest atomic power station, has spent hours operating on emergency diesel generators after losing its external power supply for the seventh time since Russia’s full-scale invasion of its neighbor. Rafael Grossi, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said Monday the plant is 'extremely vulnerable.” Hours later, national energy company Ukrenergo said on Telegram that it had restored the power line that feeds the plant. But for Grossi, it was another reminder of what’s at stake at the Russian-occupied plant which has seen shelling close by. A disruption of the electrical supply could disable the plant's cooling systems which are essential for the reactors’ safety.
