The Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Rafael Grossi expressed concern about the unstable safety situation at nuclear facilities in Ukraine. According to him, six violations out of seven 'nuclear safety pillars' were found at the Zaporizhzhia NPP (ZNPP). This report is cited by 'Glavkom', referring to IAEA data.

Situation at Zaporizhzhia NPP

Grossi, speaking before the Agency's Board of Governors, emphasized that only one external power line remains at ZNPP, posing 'serious safety risks'. All six reactors at the plant are in cold shutdown, and under the current conditions, none can be safely restarted.

Threat to Safety

 

The head of the IAEA also noted that the water level in the cooling pool of ZNPP has dropped to critical levels, posing a serious threat to safety. Military actions near the plant raise significant concerns. Additionally, at the Chernobyl NPP, six out of seven nuclear safety pillars remain violated.

The information provided by the IAEA highlights urgent safety issues at nuclear facilities in Ukraine amid increasing political and military tensions in the region. The need for immediate measures to prevent potential accidents that could significantly impact the population and the environment is becoming increasingly urgent.
