The director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Rafael Grossi is planning to visit Ukraine and Russia following recent drone strikes on the Zaporizhizhia nuclear power plant (ZNPP).

Speaking at a press conference after the UN Security Council meeting in New York on 15 April, when he addressed in his strongest terms so far the agency’s concern about the latest safety standards’ violations, Grossi also said he is planning a visit to Iran.

Talking about the extent to which the situation has changed at ZNPP over the last week, he said that “only two external lines of power, one of 750KW and one of 330 KW are now operating to ensure electricity supply for cooling the six units of the plant, even though the units are now in a cold shutdown.
