IAEA head Rafael Grossi reported that Iran is not enriching uranium, but activity has been recorded near the country's nuclear arsenals. This comes after US strikes on Iranian facilities in June.
The International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed the completion of repairs to the 750 kV Dniprovska line to the Zaporizhzhia NPP within the framework of a local ceasefire. The IAEA continues to coordinate with both sides on further repairs to the 330 kV Ferosplavna line.
Work has begun at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant to restore the damaged power supply system. The IAEA will monitor the progress of repair work at two ZNPP facilities, which are expected to last about a week.
IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi announced the start of repairs to damaged power lines to the ZNPP after the establishment of ceasefire zones. Restoration of electricity supply is critical for nuclear safety.
The IAEA calls on Ukraine and Russia for a local ceasefire around the Zaporizhzhia NPP. This is necessary to restore the external power supply to the station, which has been operating on diesel generators since September 23.
IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi announced the start of restoration of external power supply to the Zaporizhzhia NPP after frequent contacts with both sides. This will allow the plant to receive the necessary electricity to cool the six shut down reactors and spent fuel.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine condemns Russia's dangerous escalation around the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, where shelling was recorded on October 6 at a distance of 1. 25 km from the perimeter. The plant has been without external power supply for almost two weeks, which creates a risk of a nuclear catastrophe.
IAEA experts heard a series of shots 1. 25 km from the perimeter of the Zaporizhzhia NPP. This incident increases the risks of catastrophic consequences.
IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi is negotiating with Russia and Ukraine on restoring external power supply to the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. The plant has been operating on emergency backup power for ten days, and Ukraine is ready to carry out repairs if specialists' safety is ensured.
President Zelenskyy reported that a Russian strike on an energy substation in Slavutych, carried out by over 20 drones, led to a three-hour blackout at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant facilities. This affected the new confinement and the spent nuclear fuel storage facility, which holds 80% of the fuel accumulated during the NPP's operation.
As a result of Russian shelling of the energy infrastructure of the Kyiv region, an emergency situation occurred in Slavutych at the facilities of the State Specialized Enterprise "Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant". Due to voltage fluctuations, the New Safe Confinement, which isolates the destroyed fourth power unit of the ChNPP, was left without electricity.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is negotiating with Ukraine and Russia to restore external power supply to the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. The plant has been without connection to the power grid for more than a week, operating on emergency diesel generators.
The European Union has called on Russia to immediately withdraw all forces and military equipment from the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant and all of Ukraine, returning control of the plant to Ukrainian authorities. This comes after the Zaporizhzhia NPP lost connection to an external power source for the tenth time, marking the longest and most serious outage.
The occupied ZNPP has been without connection to the Ukrainian energy system for six days, operating on backup diesel generators. Running out of fuel could lead to a radiation accident with consequences for Europe, states the Head of the State Nuclear Regulatory Inspectorate.
Russia intends to connect the Zaporizhzhia NPP to its energy system, despite the risks of a nuclear incident. For this purpose, a 200 km long power transmission line has already been built from Melitopol to Mariupol.
The Zaporizhzhia NPP remains without electricity for the fourth day, this is the tenth outage due to Russia's actions. The occupiers laid 200 km of lines, preparing to connect the plant to the power grid and restart it.
The occupied Zaporizhzhia NPP has been without external power for over three days, a record outage that raises safety concerns. After the last power line was damaged on September 23, the plant has been using emergency generators for cooling and safety systems.
Iran has significantly accelerated the construction of a fortified underground facility near the Natanz nuclear complex, indicating a resumption of its nuclear program. Satellite images show increased security and increased work at the facility, which could be used for uranium enrichment.
An IAEA observer team recorded the downing and explosion of a Russian UAV 800 meters from the perimeter of the South Ukrainian NPP. This highlights the constant danger to nuclear safety during military conflict.
IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi met with Vladimir Putin in Moscow. Issues of nuclear energy, non-proliferation, and nuclear safety were discussed.
Vladimir Putin and Alexander Lukashenka welcomed the readiness of IAEA head Rafael Grossi to nominate himself for the post of UN Secretary-General. Grossi was the first to announce his candidacy and is trying to secure Washington's support.
IAEA head Rafael Grossi has officially announced his candidacy for the position of UN Secretary-General. He is actively using his influence to gain Washington's favor.
The IAEA mission at the Zaporizhzhia NPP recorded shelling near the facility and black smoke rising from three surrounding locations. Several artillery shells hit 400 meters from the diesel fuel storage site, causing fires.
IAEA teams recorded explosions and drone flights near Khmelnytskyi and Rivne NPPs. This creates a serious danger, as any hostilities near nuclear facilities violate key safety principles.
The IAEA and Iran have reached an agreement on resuming inspections at nuclear facilities. The agreement was concluded between Rafael Grossi and Abbas Araghchi, but the details remain unknown.
IAEA head Rafael Grossi reported on 217 Agency missions in Ukraine involving 176 employees, covering all nuclear power plants, including Chernobyl. The IAEA almost daily informs about the situation at the occupied ZNPP, where its launch after de-occupation may take years.
