The Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant's connection to its main 750 kV power line and its 330 kV back-up off-site power supply were lost late on Wednesday, with its emergency generators automatically switching on to provide the necessary power.

International Atomic ¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ÔÚÏß Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi called on world leaders to deliver on commitments made during a ministerial conference on nuclear power hosted by the agency and the US Department of ¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ÔÚÏß.

Experts from the International Atomic ¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ÔÚÏß Agency are to be deployed to the Khmelnitsky, Rivne, South Ukraine and Chernobyl nuclear power plant sites in addition to those already at Zaporizhzhia, where efforts to bring in a protection zone continue.

The ¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ÔÚÏß Association of Nuclear Operators board of directors has passed a resolution that "every effort" be taken to "ensure there be no interference in the operator’s ability to safely perform their work" and resolves "to maintain WANO unity in supporting the Zaporizhzhia power plant and ensures that no member nuclear power station becomes isolated from the industry".

The International Atomic ¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ÔÚÏß Agency is sending inspectors to two locations in Ukraine to carry out a safeguards check that there are no undeclared nuclear activities and material. The checks are to take place at the request of Ukraine as it rejects allegations made by Russia.

International Atomic ¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ÔÚÏß Agency Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi has reiterated the urgency of establishing a safety zone around the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine.

Finland has strengthened its regulatory framework for nuclear and radiation safety and made progress in recent years, an International Atomic ¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ÔÚÏß Agency team of experts has concluded. The Integrated Regulatory Review Service mission team recommended expediting a planned amendment of the legislation so that it covers all stages of the life cycle for nuclear and radiation facilities.

The International Atomic ¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ÔÚÏß Agency's Emergency Preparedness Review (EPREV) noted that Slovenia had made "significant progress in developing and revising emergency arrangements" since the initial EPREV mission five years ago.

International Atomic ¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ÔÚÏß Agency Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi has held talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The talks were arranged as part of efforts to establish a safety and security zone around the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.

The International Atomic ¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ÔÚÏß Agency said Ukrainian engineers had restored external power to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, a day after it lost connection to the last operating power line, which had forced the use of emergency diesel generators.

The director general of the International Atomic ¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ÔÚÏß Agency, Rafael Mariano Grossi, says that the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant is, according to international law, Ukrainian and its ownership is with Energoatom. He was speaking after talks with Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Russian President Vladimir Putin issued a decree to transfer Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant to Russian control and oversight on Wednesday. But Ukraine calls it an illegal attempt to take control of the plant and says the Russian president’s decree is "null and void".
