The International Atomic Energy Agency– whom at significant risk — traveled to the war zone to inspect the Ukrainian nuclear plant under fire from the Russians, is calling for a safety zone around the plant.
ALL IAEA safety principles have been compromised at the facility.
The IAEA is still gravely concerned about the situation at the ZNPP – this hasn’t changed,” the report reads. “The Seven Pillars have all been compromised at the site.
The agency emphasized the urgent need for interim measures “to prevent a nuclear accident arising from physical damage caused by military means.”
To achieve this, the IAEA called for “a nuclear safety and security protection zone.”
The UN agency’s report recommended that shelling on site and its vicinity “should be stopped immediately to avoid any further damages to the plant and associated facilities, for the safety of the operating staff and to maintain the physical integrity to support safe and secure operation. This requires agreement by all relevant parties to the establishment of a nuclear safety and security protection zone around the ZNPP.”
