There are no nuclear safety concerns at Ukraine’s Russian-controlled Zaporizhia nuclear power plant despite weekend bombings that caused extensive damage, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said tonight after its experts inspected the site .

“They were able to confirm that, despite the intensity of the bombardment, the core equipment remains intact and there are no nuclear safety concerns,” the agency said in a statement.

The condition of the six reactors is stable and experts have also confirmed that there are no problems with spent or non-irradiated fuel or radioactive waste in their storage tanks.

On the occasion of the new bombings, the head of the IAEA, Rafael Grossi, is intensifying his consultations with the aim of establishing a protection zone in the area where the nuclear plant is located.
