CEO of Maga Raphael Grosssey noted that after the shutdown of the Zaporozhye NPP from external power sources at the station there is a serious situation in terms of nuclear security.
The press service of the international organization writes about it.
“In terms of nuclear safety, the situation remains very serious. I urge both parties to take the necessary steps to prevent further deterioration. It is a matter of political will rather than technical capabilities, they are”, The CEO of Maga Raphael Grosssey said.
The IAEA constantly discuss with Ukraine and the Russian Federation detailed proposals for the restoration of the external power supply of the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant, which has used emergency reserve power supply over the last ten days.
“Both sides say they are ready to carry out the necessary repair work on their sides of the front line. But for this purpose it is necessary to improve the security situation in place so that technical experts can do their important job without risk to life”, He added.
From September 23, Zaporizhzhya NPP has been operating in power supply from backup diesel generators. This creates serious risks, because neither generators nor the station itself are designed for such long work.
Prior to this, the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant has been without electricity for nine days, which poses a threat to a nuclear disaster if it is not urgently restored.
On Tuesday, September 23, a tenth Blackut occurred at the Zaporizhzhya NPP from the beginning of the occupation of the station by the Russian army.
During his speech at the UN General Assembly, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said that another blackout at the Zaporozhye NPP testifies to the weakness of international institutions.
