"A regular rotation of the [IEAE] mission observers took place at the Zaporozhye NPP today. The mission was comprised of five inspectors. Their goal, as before, is to observe and evaluate the plant's safety conditions," the NPP's authorities clarified.
Located on the left bank of the Dnepr River, the Zaporozhye NPP is the largest nuclear power plant in Europe by number of units and energy output. Russian forces seized control of the facility in early March 2022 which has since been repeatedly shelled by Ukraine, raising international concerns over a possible nuclear accident.
