A new group of IAEA observers arrived at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in the fourth attempt

A new group of IAEA observers arrived at the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant about a month later than expected. This was announced Thursday by the head of the IAEA, Rafael Grossi.Russia has accused the IAEA of disrupting the monthly staff rotation, which has been postponed three times.Recall that the six-reactor nuclear power plant, which is considered the largest in Europe, was captured by Russian troops at the beginning of the war launched by the Kremlin against Ukraine, and is located near the front line .As Grossi’s statement points out, the presence of observers “is necessary to reduce the threat of a nuclear accident”.“Our courageous experts, who work closely with the plant workers, advise them on technical issues and monitor the situation under extremely difficult conditions,” the IAEA chief stressed.Grossi said on Monday that IAEA observers recorded new explosions near the nuclear power plant. On Wednesday, the station was disconnected from the last backup transmission line, for the third time in a week. The boss of the IAEA insists on the establishment of a demilitarized zone around the station.
