IAEA's support delegation led by General Director Rafael Grossi has just arrived at Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant to conduct safe and nuclear security activities, as well as indispensable protection measures, IAEA said

The visit takes place a few hours after the Russian Ministry of Defense accused Ukraine to send commandos to occupy the factory.

The Russian force controlled the Zaporizhzhia factory in southern Ukraine in March, but the facility was still operated by Ukrainian technical staff.

Many recent shelling occurred around the Zaporizhzhia factory area, raising concerns about the risk of a nuclear incident similar to the chernobyl disaster in 1986. Russia and Ukraine accused each other.

Russian President Vladimir Putin last month agreed to let the Independent Singers Group go to Zaporizhzhia Factory to Ukraine.

From August 25 to August 26, the factory was interrupted from the national grid, forcing technicians to activate the backup generator to ensure the power source for the cooling system, marking the first incident like that.

Ukraine on August 27 warned the risk of radioactive leaks and fire after new attacks against Zaporizhzhia factory.

It was time to stop joking with fire, instead of specific measures to protect this facility from any military activity.

No warning was released when firepower poured down on the Zaporizhzhia factory, the largest nuclear electrical facility in Europe, causing workers to flee.

Russia -Ukraine fighting at Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant has a potential risk of errors that can lead to global disasters.
