Shaun Burnie, a nuclear specialist with Greenpeace Germany, stated unequivocally that "no nuclear regulations exist anywhere in the world that permit a nuclear plant to operate on the frontline in an active war zone."
At the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, Europe's largest nuclear station, eight blackouts and one partial outage have occurred amid Russia's invasion of Ukraine since 2022, raising concerns about nuclear safety risks under Russian occupation.
The IAEA Director General says Russia has not allowed its experts to enter the reactor halls of three units at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, which was occupied by Russian troops in March 2022.
The resolution says Russia should "immediately cease all actions" at the plant, withdraw its military, and enable Ukraine's nuclear operator to resume full control
