IAEA warns of rising risks at Zaporizhzhia
The International Atomic Energy Agency has warned of escalating risks threatening nuclear safety at the Zaporizhzhia plant due to drone attacks targeting the facility's critical infrastructure and the surrounding area in recent weeks. Essential power transformers needed to operate cooling systems have been damaged, putting nuclear safety at risk, along with disruptions at the radiation monitoring station and a person killed in an attack on residential buildings in Enerhodar. The agency's Director General, Rafael Grossi, is leading efforts to de-escalate the situation and secure power supplies for the plant, emphasizing the urgent need to stop targeting nuclear facilities immediately and prevent a nuclear accident. The plant, which is the largest nuclear power station in Europe, is currently relying on emergency diesel generators after external power supplies were cut off in August. Moscow and Kyiv have exchanged accusations over the attacks, each blaming the other for actions that threaten the safety of the facility.
