To strengthen and help maintain the latest IAEA-brokered ceasefire near the Zaporizhzhya NPP after Friday’s incident that injured several Russian military personnel, an Agency team today started monitoring mine-clearing work that is required before the power line repairs can begin, DG Rafael Grossi says.
The repairs of the ZNPP’s main 750 kilovolt (kV) power line are expected to get under way in coming days after de-mining of the frontline area has been completed.
In the previous five localized ceasefires negotiated by the IAEA to ensure nuclear safety at the ZNPP, the Agency’s teams have monitored the repairs but not the preceding de-mining work.
The IAEA will continue to do everything it can to help prevent a nuclear accident during the military conflict, DG Grossi says.
