Rosenergoatom, a division of the Russian state nuclear company Rosatom, sent a group of its own nuclear specialists to the Zaporozhye NPP. They demand daily reports from plant management on confidential matters relating to the operation of the facility, the International Atomic Energy Agency said in a statement..

These questions relate to aspects related to administration and control, maintenance and repair, security and access control to the facility, as well as the management of nuclear fuel, spent fuel and radioactive waste..

The staff of the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant - the country's largest plant with six reactors - is working under incredible pressure, the Ukrainian side told the agency..

Russian troops captured the station on March 4. Although the situation in Zaporozhye continues to be difficult and, according to Grossi, needs constant attention due to the presence of Russian forces and Rosatom personnel, the Ukrainian operators remain in control..

Of the country's 15 operating reactors at four NPPs, seven are currently connected to the grid, including two at the Zaporozhye NPP, two at the Rivne NPP, two at the South Ukrainian NPP and one at the Khmelnytsky NPP. The remaining eight reactors are shut down for regular maintenance or held in standby.. Safety systems at four nuclear power plants remain operational.



The IAEA also said that remote data transmission from the Chernobyl nuclear power plant to the Agency's headquarters in Vienna is gradually being restored after its specialists updated automatic monitoring systems and deployed new transmission channels based on satellite technology.. The transmission of data from Chernobyl was interrupted for two months due to the occupation.

Earlier, we reported that a documentary film following the events at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant will be released in Ukraine, a teaser has been published. Women in Nuclear (WiN) Ukraine invited experts and eyewitnesses to discuss this topic.
