Russian military ensure safe rotation of IAEA mission observers at Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant

On 3 October 2024, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation ensured the safety of the 23rd rotation of International Atomic Energy Agency mission observers at Zaporozhye NPP.

To this end, a ceasefire regime, strictly observed by Russian servicemen, was declared from 06:00 to 18:00 along the route of movement from the crossing point designated by the observers – the destroyed bridge near the Kamenskoye.
-
While inspecting the road in the crossing area, Russian soldiers found unexploded foreign-made ammunition and debris from FPV drones left in the immediate vicinity of ZNPP as a result of new regular shelling from the Ukrainian side.
-
Despite the presence of unexploded ordnance, Russian servicemen ensured the safe passage of the mission's observers and their delivery to the station.
-
The mission consists of four inspectors. Their task is to observe and assess the safety of the Zaporozhye NPP. IAEA experts have been present at ZNPP since 1 September 2022, following the first visit of the agency's Director General Rafael Grossi to the Plant. Source
