IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi has visited Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant for the fifth time. His focus was on the significant damage caused by a fire at one of its cooling towers in early August, he also visited a water pumping station and a storage facility for fresh fuel rods.
Director General Grossi has repeatedly said any military action taken against the Zaporizhzhya plant increases the risk of a nuclear accident and is a clear violation of the five concrete principles for protecting the facility, established at the United Nations Security Council in May 2023.
