New IAEA inspectors begin work at Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant


(MENAFN) A routine rotation of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) personnel was completed Wednesday at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, according to general statements from the facility’s press service.

“A successful regular change of IAEA inspectors has been carried out at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. Four specialists have commenced work on observing and assessing the operational safety of the station,” the announcement said. The new team is now taking over monitoring duties at the plant.

Security for the handover was provided by Russian military units, the Russian Guards Corps, and regional Interior Ministry personnel, according to the statement.

The outgoing inspection group had been overseeing safety conditions while the power plant operated without external electricity for a month. According to the readout, “Thanks in part to their efforts and constant presence, repair works on external power lines were successfully completed.”

IAEA specialists have maintained a continuous presence at the facility since Sept. 1, 2022, following an initial on-site mission led by Director General Rafael Grossi.
