The International Atomic Energy Agency said on the 6th that it received reports from relevant Ukrainian authorities that although the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant is still being operated by its original staff, the nuclear power plant management has accepted the order of the commander of the Russian army that controls the plant. Any action by the plant’s management, including technical operations related to the six nuclear reactors, requires prior approval from the commander of the Russian army.
In addition, the relevant Ukrainian authorities also stated that the Russian army has shut down some network facilities, so it cannot obtain reliable information on the nuclear power plant through normal communication channels. Landlines, e-mail and fax are now out of service, and mobile phone communications are still available, but of poor quality.
The Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Grossi, expressed serious concern about the situation, believing that the move violated the relevant principles of safeguarding nuclear safety. He reiterated his readiness to travel to Chernobyl to ensure the commitment of all parties to the conflict to the safety and security of all Ukrainian nuclear power plants.
