Nuclear Power Plant

The director of the International Atomic Energy Agency went to the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant.

About

The Largest Nuclear power Plant in Europe is located in Zaporizhzhia, a significant town in Southeast Ukraine.

The distance between it and the nuclear plant is around 40 kilometers.

Six reactors make up the nuclear power station in Zaporizhzhia, which generates a total of 5,700 MW of electricity. 15 reactors are housed within the four nuclear power plants in Ukraine. In Ukraine, nuclear energy provides nearly half of the country's energy needs.

As a non-nuclear weapon state, Ukraine is a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Its nuclear facilities are all protected by IAEA regulations. This implies that every single piece of nuclear fuel, every kilo of uranium, and every milligram of plutonium must be tracked down and reported.

In March 2022, the factory was attacked by Russian soldiers, who afterwards took control of it.

In order to eliminate any nuclear risk, IAEA has a rotating crew permanently stationed at the site.

The IAEA has been putting a lot of effort into getting a protection zone around the plant, which is quite close to the front lines of the conflict.

In this regard, the recent visit is essential.
