IAEA Director General warns of potential disaster at Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant.
TL;DR Summary
The Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) in Ukraine is at risk due to its dependence on a single power line for external electricity amid continued military activity in the southern region, according to the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The IAEA is pressing for an agreement to protect the plant during the conflict, and experts present at the site have heard shelling in the area. The ZNPP has relied on a single power line for six weeks, and a back-up line damaged on 1 March has not been repaired due to military action.
