The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) called, in a report published on Tuesday, for the establishment of a “security zone” to prevent a nuclear accident at the Russian-occupied Zaporizhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine.
“The current situation is unsustainable,” writes the UN body in this 52-page text.
“It is urgent to take provisional measures”, he continues, advocating “the establishment of a nuclear protection and safety zone”.
“The bombing must stop immediately”
“The shelling on the site and in the surrounding area must stop immediately to avoid causing further damage to the facilities,” insists the IAEA, which says it is “ready to start consultations.”
The Agency also notes “extremely stressful conditions” in which Ukrainian personnel work, under the control of Russian troops.
For weeks, confusion has reigned over the Zaporijjia power plant, Europe’s largest, which has been hit by multiple strikes that Kyiv and Moscow blame each other for.
Two inspectors must remain on site
After much negotiation, a delegation from the IAEA was able to visit your site last Thursday. Two inspectors must remain on site permanently.
“I hope it is objective,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said before the report was released.
He had criticized the IAEA last week for hiding the issue of “demilitarizing” the site.
