  ‘Serious incident’ at Europe’s largest nuclear plant – work to stop ‘accident’ ongoing

An incident at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant in
Ukraine has left some Russian military personnel injured as efforts to
prevent a ‘nuclear accident’ continue. Russian military personnel have been
injured following a “serious incident” at Europe’s largest nuclear power
plant.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) today said it had been
informed of an incident which occurred during de-mining efforts following a
localised ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine. The ceasefire is in place
so that power line repairs can be carried out, repairs the IAEA says are
crucial for preventing a “nuclear accident” at the site.

The power plant
has lost power on several occasions due to fighting in the region. Rafael
Mariano Grossi, IAEA director general, today called for “maximum military
restraint and full adherence to the ceasefire” so “efforts to prevent a
nuclear accident” can continue. The exact nature of the incident which led
to the recent injuries remains unclear.
