The International Atomic Energy Agency announced on September 21 that there have been many drone and other military attacks near the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant in recent weeks, causing many casualties and possibly posing a threat to nuclear safety. Related incidents earlier this month include a drone attack on a training center on the periphery of the nuclear power plant and an attack on the transportation of diesel fuel for emergency generators; there were also many attacks in the nearby city of Energodar, where a large number of nuclear power plant workers live. International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Grossi expressed “deep concern” about this, pointing out that the incident once again highlighted the risk that the conflict continues to pose to nuclear safety and nuclear power plant workers and their families. He stressed that any attack on the nuclear power plant and its vicinity is unacceptable and must be stopped immediately.
