IAEA Director General Addresses Ukraine's Nuclear Power Plant Situation

The Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine lost connection to its main external power line, forcing it to rely on recently restored backup power supplies for essential nuclear safety and security functions. The plant's sole remaining power line was disconnected, exacerbating the nuclear safety and security risks. While the plant avoided a complete loss of all external power, the situation highlights the precarious state of nuclear safety and security at the site.
