IAEA says its on-site team at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant reports current fuel stocks are sufficient to run a small number of emergency diesel generators for two weeks.

Russian-controlled ZAPORIZHZHIA NUCLEAR PLANT reported on Nov. 8 via its official social account that the 330 kV Ferrous Alloys-1 external supply line was damaged and protection relays disconnected the circuit. Backup diesel generators are supplying the plant; staff are monitoring parameters and implementing safety measures. Radiation levels at the site and in the monitoring zone are reported normal.

The UAE coast guard said it rescued all 22 crew from a merchant vessel that caught fire in the Gulf of Oman; the rescued are in stable condition. A specialist team was dispatched after the crew reported the blaze; the crew, from Arab countries, received first aid and were transferred to local authorities. The cause of the fire and the extent of the vessel’s damage were not disclosed.
