The mission continues to assess the damage to the cooling tower to determine the cause of the fire, the agency noted.

Representatives of the Zaporozhye NPP admitted the possibility of dismantling the cooling tower after the fire on August 11. This was reported on the website of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

Zaporozhye NPP informed the IAEA team of the need to evaluate the impact of the fire on the structural integrity of the cooling tower No. 1 and accepted that its dismantling may be necessary. The mission continued to examine the damage to the cooling tower to determine the cause of the fire.

“For safety reasons, the team watched from ground level while Zaporizhzhya NPP personnel filmed and photographed the consequences of the fire inside the tower from the level of the water distribution nozzle, the height it was about 10 m and immediately showed the video materials to the team,” the agency said.

Evidence suggests the fire did not start at the base of the cooling tower, said IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi. No foreign objects or materials were visible, he added.

The team requested access to the second cooling tower to examine the interior of the structure and determine if there were similar material and technical characteristics that may have been observed in Cooling Tower No. 1 before the fire. However, the team was immediately brought to safety by an air raid signal.

We remind you that the IAEA confirmed heavy smoke and explosions on the territory of the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant occupied by the Russians on Sunday, August 11. The head of the Nikopol OVA said that this could be a provocation by the Russians.
