The staff of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant no longer performs repairs and maintenance of equipment due to the overload that has accumulated in people for three weeks, which the occupiers keep specialists at the station. This is stated in a statement by IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grosi, which is reported by Energoatom..

According to the IAEA Director General, 211 people - technical staff and security officers - still cannot be replaced.

" Due to the fact that the situation is deteriorating, the IAEA initiative to ensure the safety and security of nuclear power plants in Ukraine is becoming increasingly relevant,"

Recall that on March 13, Ukrenergo resumed power supply at the captured Chernobyl nuclear power plant, which was damaged by the invaders, as it threatened a man-made disaster.

However, already on March 14, Russian troops again damaged the power line at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant..

Chernobyl and Zaporozhye nuclear power plants are currently occupied by Russian troops. The invaders who seized the ZNPP also mined the coast of the Kakhovka reservoir near the station.
