IAEA chief Rafael Grossi announced on Monday that the organization will continue talks with both Russia and Ukraine this week in order to urgently establish a safety and security protection zone around the Zaparozhye nuclear power facility (ZNPP).

"Last week I had an opportunity to start consultations with Ukraine and with the Russian Federation on the urgent establishment of a nuclear safety and security protection zone around the Zaparozhye nuclear power plant. This is possible. This must be done. And I am ready to continue these consultations in both countries this week," Grossi said at the 66th Annual Regular Session of the IAEA.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) called on September 6 for the establishment of a security zone around the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant (ZNPP) following Ukraine's latest offense. 

The attack took place after Kiev's forces opened fire from artillery on the Russian-controlled city of Energodar. 

As a result of the shelling, a power line in the vicinity of the ZNPP was damaged, which led to a temporary power outage, as well as instability in the water supply.

Authorities reported in a statement that a total of seven shells had hit the area of a training building on the NPP premises, one of which had caused a leak of fuel oil from a tank at a water delivery line at the ZNPP.

In light of these events, the IAEA said it would issue a report about the findings of the agency's mission to the ZNPP.

The report was published today and included a call by the IAEA to establish a security zone in order to prevent the casualty of a nuclear disaster.
