On the sidelines of the UN General Assembly an agreement was reached with IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi on increasing their mission parameters at the Zaporizhzhia NPP, Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said. Shmyhal also emphasized that the first step towards the demilitarization of the station is the normal operation of the ZNPP without interference from the Russian military and Rosatom employees. The next step is the withdrawal of Russian troops from the plant’s territory. The following step is the complete demilitarization of Energodar and the 30-kilometer zone surrounding the plant. “The nuclear plant must work within Ukraine’s energy system so that we can guarantee the safety of its operation,” Shmyhal stressed.
The IAEA will increase the scope of its mission at the Zaporizhzhia NPP.
