IAEA Condemns Russia's Occupation of Zaporizhzhia Plant Amid Worsening Safety

The international community expresses grave concern as Ukraine warns of potential nuclear accident at Europe's largest nuclear power facility.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) passed a resolution condemning Russia's occupation of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant and expressed grave concern over the worsening safety conditions.
Ukraine's energy minister warned that the situation at the plant is moving towards a nuclear accident, emphasizing the importance of Russia withdrawing from the site.
The plant has lost all external power eight times in the last 18 months, relying on diesel generators to avoid a meltdown.
Staffing issues persist, with a significant reduction in personnel and reports of psychological stress among the remaining workers.
The IAEA and various countries have reiterated demands for Russia to return control of the plant to Ukraine, highlighting the global implications of a potential accident.
