The Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Rafael Grossi, visited the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Russian-occupied Ukraine to assess its safety and operational conditions. Grossi met with leaders of the Ministry of Energy, the State Nuclear Regulatory Inspectorate, and Energoatom in Kyiv before visiting the plant. He expressed concerns about the plant's fragile security due to staff cuts and the depletion of nuclear fuel resources. Grossi also highlighted the need for demilitarization and de-occupation of the plant to prevent a nuclear accident. Despite the security challenges, he noted that the plant has enough cooling water supply. The visit aimed to evaluate the plant's ability to operate with a reduced number of staff and assess its cooling systems.
