I am finishing my first visit to #Ukraine’s #Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant.
@iaeaorg is here to stay and will maintain a continued presence at #ZNPP.

The day has come, @iaeaorg's Support and Assistance Mission to #Zaporizhzhya (ISAMZ) is now on its way. We must protect the safety and security of #Ukraine’s and Europe’s biggest nuclear facility. Proud to lead this mission which will be in #ZNPP later this week.

Today, I am launching a programme of assistance to 🇺🇦 #Ukraine in response to the Nova Kakhovka dam flooding, following President @ZelenskyyUa's request for international assistance.

Impressive to see how quickly 🇵🇰 #Pakistan's scientists were able to produce climate resilient strains of cotton — an inspiring example of the peaceful application of #nuclearscience⚛️ benefiting society. bit.ly/3dgAcLL #IAEAGC #Atoms4Climate

Just crossed the border into #Ukraine to start @iaeaorg's mission to ensure the safety and security of the country’s nuclear facilities. We must act now to help prevent the danger of a nuclear accident. bit.ly/3Ntu1oQ

Our team at #Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant informed me this morning that the plant has lost all of its external power for the 2nd time in five days. Its back-up diesel generators are now providing electricity for its nuclear safety and security functions.

I welcome the release of Ihor Murashov, Director General of #Ukraine’s #Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant; I have received confirmation that Mr Murashov has returned to his family safely.

Arriving in Poland on the night train from #Ukraine after an intensive week of consultations with 🇷🇺 & 🇺🇦. Moving closer to the establishment of a protection zone for #Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant—the plant's situation is untenable and we need immediate action to protect it.

On my way to 🇺🇦 #Ukraine to meet President @ZelenskyyUa & present a programme of assistance in the aftermath of the catastrophic Nova Kakhovka dam flooding. I will assess the situation at #Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant & conduct a rotation of ISAMZ with a strengthened team.
11
I'm deeply concerned with situation at #Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. Spoke with #Ukraine PM Denys Shmygal; @iaeaorg's monitoring and in close contact with #Ukraine's nuclear regulator and operator. I appeal to parties to refrain from actions that can put NPPs in danger.
12
On our way to Kyiv for important meetings. The need for a Nuclear Safety and Security Protection Zone (NSSPZ) around #Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant is now more urgent than ever.

14
Our team at #Zaporizhzhya confirms the offsite power line lost yday was restored & #ZNPP is reconnected to the grid—a temporary relief in a still untenable situation. A protection zone is needed now. I will travel to 🇷🇺 & will see 🇺🇦@ZelenskyyUa thereafter to establish the zone.
15
As agreed with 🇺🇦 President @ZelenskyyUa, after my meetings in St Petersburg I am coming back to Kyiv. The work on the establishment of a nuclear safety & security protection zone around #Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant continues.

Nuclear power helps avoid 2+ billion tonnes of CO2 emissions per year and has prevented ~2 million deaths in the last 50 years—lives that would have been lost due to air pollution. For a #HealthierTomorrow, we need more low-carbon electricity like nuclear. #WorldHealthDay

Today, I visited the #Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant to assess the situation after the catastrophic Nova Kakhovka dam flooding.

Shelling has caused a complete blackout in #Enerhodar and compromised the safe operation of the nearby #Zaporizhzhya NPP. This must stop & a Nuclear Safety & Security Protection Zone (NSSPZ) agreed immediately. An NPP can never be a pawn of war. bit.ly/3ROLXvx

IAEAの重要なパートナーで揺るぎない支持国である日本に向かっています。計画された処理水放出の議論を継続するために福島第一原発を再訪し、東京では高官にお会いします。アジア及び世界における放射線治療・診断の普及も今回の訪日における私の重要なアジェンダです。
21
I welcome Japan's announcement on how it will dispose of the treated water stored at #Fukushima nuclear power plant. @iaeaorg will work w/ 🇯🇵 before, during & after the discharge of the water to help ensure this is carried out without an adverse impact on health & environment.1/2

Deeply honored to be appointed to a second term as the head of this formidable tool that is the @iaeaorg and to lead its committed staff. I thank the Member States for their trust. I will honor it every single day. bit.ly/3mHCYlC

At #COP26 in Glasgow, I will come with a simple message: Nuclear is and will be part of the solution to our #climatecrisis. #Atoms4Climate
24
This repeated loss of #ZNPP’s off-site power is a deeply worrying development and it underlines the urgent need for a nuclear safety & security protection zone around the site.
25
In a Kyiv bunker with 🇺🇦 Foreign Minister @DmytroKuleba, we are making progress towards the establishment of a nuclear safety and protection zone around #Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant.
