At the Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Plant, IAEA teams on site continue to hear explosions and other signs of military activity, sometimes close to the plant itself.
International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Grossi will visit Ukraine next week to hold talks and assess developments at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant. The IAEA press service reported this on Thursday, August 29.
This is Grossi’s fifth visit to ZNPP after he established a permanent IAEA monitoring presence at ZNPP on September 1, 2022.
The organization believes that nuclear safety at the Zaporizhia NPP remains unstable.
“The IAEA acts quickly and decisively when threats to nuclear safety arise. Our presence on the ground is critical to stabilizing the situation. My message throughout this tragic war has been loud and clear: a nuclear accident must be avoided at all costs, and a The nuclear power plant must not be attacked The consequences can be catastrophic, and no one will benefit from it.
Earlier, the head of the IAEA said that although the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant (KNPP) was operating normally, “the situation there is serious” and there was a “danger of a nuclear accident.”
The IAEA said the nuclear safety situation at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant had worsened after a nearby drone strike.
