Putin told Grossi that he would “restart the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant” – media

The Wall Street Journal notes that the Russian Federation does not have specialists who would know the features of the plant, which is no longer a Soviet-type nuclear power plant.

Russian dictator Vladimir Putin told the IAEA that his regime plans to restart the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, which is now under Russian occupation. This was reported by The Wall Street Journal, citing its sources.

The media said this further increases the risk of an incident at Europe’s largest nuclear power plant, as never before in the history of the nuclear industry has a hostile state captured and operated an operating power plant abroad.

Five of the plant’s six reactors are now offline – a so-called cold shutdown. The sixth is heated enough to produce the steam the station needs for basic survival processes.

Russia has no specialists who know the minute details of the plant, which is no longer a Soviet-style plant – it now runs partly on Western control systems and American nuclear fuel from Westinghouse.

Control rooms there were operated by just one person, the US Department of Energy report said, citing unspecified reports.

IAEA chief Rafael Grossi met with Putin and the head of Rosatom in Sochi in March and asked if the plant would be restarted. Putin said he would definitely do so, but without specifying the timing, the publication said.

The previous day, the International Atomic Energy Agency reported a drone explosion on the territory of the plant. Rafael Grossi said the agency received a report of a drone attack on one of the units of the occupied Zaporozhye nuclear power plant.

Subsequently, Grossi announced three direct hits on the protective structures of the main reactor of the Zaporizhia NPP.

The Main Intelligence Directorate said that Ukraine had nothing to do with the explosions taking place on the territory of the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant, which is occupied by Russian troops. The drone strike near a reactor controlled by an aggressor country was a simulated Russian strike on the plant’s territory.
