Ukraine’s occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant has sufficient water levels in a cooling pond onsite despite the reduced height of waters in the Kakhovka reservoir, said Rafael Grossi, director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) during a visit to the plant yesterday.
“It is important that water in the cooling pond remains at the present level so that the [Zaporizhzhia] plant can continue to be cooled”, said Grossi. “Obviously, this will not last for too long, a few months maybe, but the plant will be working on replenishing the water through alternative measures which we are studying with them,” he said.
