IAEA Head Grossi on another blackout at ZNPP: It’s a reminder of fragile nuclear safety situation at plant
The eighth blackout at Zaporizhzhia NPP is yet another reminder of the fragile nuclear safety and security situation at the plant, which can be affected by events far from the plant itself.
According to Censor.NET with reference to Ukrinform, this was stated by the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Rafael Grossi.
"The latest outage of external power supply (at ZNPP - Ed.) is another reminder of the fragile nuclear safety and security situation at the plant, which can be affected by events far from the site itself," Grossi said.
He added that the IAEA continues to do everything possible to prevent a nuclear accident.
"I also call on all parties not to take any action that could endanger the plant," Grossi said.
It is noted that this was the first complete external power outage at ZNPP since 22 May this year.
