IAEA: Zaporizhzhya nuclear plant in Ukraine is stable, intact

IAEA: Zaporizhzhya nuclear plant in Ukraine is stable, intact
Ukraine's Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant remains intact despite months of severe shelling, according to an assessment by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). "Despite the severity of the shelling, key equipment remained intact and there were no immediate nuclear safety or security concerns," according to the release. However, despite confirming that the site was stable and after receiving briefings from on-site managers, the agency said the situation remained serious, especially due to widespread damage across the site. "This is a major cause of concern as it clearly demonstrates the sheer intensity of the attack on one of the world's largest nuclear power plants," read a statement from IAEA director general Rafael Grossi.
