In Russia, they say that they can prohibit the access of IAEA experts to the Zaporizhzhya NPP

Russia may stop the work of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) mission at the Zaporizhzhia NPP. Such a statement was distributed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the aggressor country, he writes UNN.

Details

The Foreign Ministry reacted hostilely to the interview of the head of the IAEA, Raphael Grossi, who told the German news agency DPA that representatives of the Agency will be at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant “until the possible freezing of the war.”

The statement of the Russian Foreign Ministry says that such statements are beyond Grossi’s competence. They claim that the experts of the IAEA Secretariat are at the ZNPP “at the request of the CEO himself” Rafael Grossi and only as long as the aggressor country “considers their stay there to be justified.”

Let’s add

In October, the Zaporizhia NPP lost connection to the 330 kV backup power line twice in a month. The station remained on a single external power supply of 750 kV, necessary for cooling the reactors.
