This visit is associated with the operation of the Armed Forces in the Kursk region, which has been going on for more than two weeks. At the station, the IAEA head intends to talk to its executives, to evaluate the state of external power supply, as well as access roads. Raphael Grossi is concerned about the fact that as a result of the promotion of the Ukrainian army deep into the Russian region, Kursk NPP is within the Artillery reach of the Armed Forces.
"And since the fighting is ongoing, I am very concerned," the IAEA said. In addition, there are two reactors at the station at the station, so the proximity of the NPP to hostilities is of particular concern. The authors of the material note that the defense forces are located only 30 kilometers from this territory.
More than 2 years ago, when a full -scale war began, Russia seized the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant in Energodar, although it agreed to the UN principles that nuclear power plants should never be attacked or captured by the military. We will remind, on August 17 it was reported that Ukraine was accused of preparing for an attack on Kursk NPP. The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that Kiev allegedly made "attempts to intimidate and terror", going to attack the Kursk NPP.
