The IAEA calls for the immediate creation of a safe zone around the nuclear power plant

It is necessary to immediately create a safe zone around the ZNPP. This was stated by the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Rafael Grossi, in his video message. He called for an immediate end to shelling in the area of ​​the occupied Zaporizhzhia NPP.

This was written by the Director General of the International Nuclear Energy Agency, Rafael Grossi, on Twitter. His video message was also published on the IAEA website.

IAEA employees on the spot learned about the serious situation that developed last night at the Zaporizhzhia NPP, the report says. Power outages at the station increase the risk of an accident.

"The shelling caused a complete blackout in Energodar and endangered the safe operation of the nearby Zaporizhzhya NPP. This must be stopped and a nuclear safety and security zone agreed upon immediately. A nuclear power plant can never be a pawn in war," - wrote the Director General of the International Nuclear Energy Agency, Rafael Grossi, on Twitter.
