Details: The agency also reported that after the Russian Federation’s long-term attacks on Ukraine’s power grid, the IAEA is preparing to deploy a group to visit several substations that are crucial for nuclear safety. The expert mission will assess the latest damage and the potential impact on the operation of the NPP. This will be the sixth such mission.
At the Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP), IAEA staff present at the plant reported hearing military activity on a daily basis, often very close to the plant. On some days, the team reported hearing explosions and gunfire as many as 20 times, sometimes much more.
Literally IAEA: “Despite the regular sounds of military activity in the area, the IAEA team at the ZNPP continues to conduct rounds of the plant to monitor and assess nuclear safety. In recent days, the team conducted rounds of two engine rooms and radioactive waste storage facilities. They also observed a test of an emergency diesel generator and discussed the on-site cooling water situation, one of the most difficult topics for nuclear safety at the ZNPP.”
Details: The IAEA notes that the agency has organized a new round of supplies as part of a comprehensive program of aid to Ukraine, the number of which has reached 185 since the beginning of the war.
These deliveries were made possible thanks to the financial support of the European Union, Italy, Japan and Great Britain.
