Ukraine remains concerned about its Zaporizhia nuclear power plant, which is occupied by Russian troops. The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Rafael Grossi, names guidelines for protecting Europe’s largest nuclear power plant. “There must be no attack of any kind on or against the facility, particularly the reactors, spent fuel storage facilities, other critical infrastructure or personnel,” Grossi said in New York.
He calls on Russia and Ukraine to follow the rules so that no radioactive material is released. In addition, Zaporizhia should not be used as a military base or as a storage facility for weapons such as tanks or artillery that could be deployed from the facility. The external power supply must also be guaranteed, and the plant must be protected against acts of sabotage. All violations would be made public by him, Grossi continued.
