IAEA flag is now flying at #Ukraine’s #Pivdennoukrainsk (South Ukraine Nuclear Power Plant). We are here to stay to help ensure nuclear safety & security during ongoing conflict. Soon IAEA will be permanently present at all 🇺🇦 NPPs.

I met 🇺🇦@ZelenskyyUa today in Zaporizhzhya City & had a rich exchange on the protection of the #Zaporizhzhya NPP and its staff. I reiterated the full support of the @iaeaorg to #Ukraine’s nuclear facilities.
28
The @iaeaorg team must go to Zaporizhia just as we did to Chornobyl and South Ukraine earlier in the year. We can put together a safety, security and safeguards mission and deliver the indispensable assistance and impartial assessment that is needed.

I personally thanked South Ukraine Nuclear Power Plant staff for their endurance and resilience during these extremely difficult times. Staff of all #Ukraine nuclear facilities deserve full respect and admiration for keeping sites running in a safe and secure way amid conflict.

Back in Vienna after @iaeaorg’s Support and Assistance Mission to #Zaporizhzhya (ISAMZ). Very grateful to my wonderful team and especially to @UN and SG @antonioguterres, for his support and @UNDSS and @UN_OpSupport for their indispensable role in this complex operation.

It was a pleasure to welcome 🇯🇵 Senator @aoyamashigeharu, who has extensive knowledge & experience in the area of nuclear safety & security. Japan is a strong supporter of @iaeaorg's activities, incl. our mission to #Ukraine. I look forward to our further enhanced cooperation!

I have just addressed the #UNSC and launched a proposal to create a Nuclear Safety and Security Protection Zone (NSSPZ) in #Zaporizhzhya. This is based on the findings from our mission to the power plant there, outlined in our new report. bit.ly/3RkPbao

After Finland, #Sweden becomes 2nd country in the 🌍 to approve a deep geological repository for high-level nuclear waste.
This technically proven solution can be part of the #ClimateCrisis solution. @iaeaorg to work with Sweden in this important endeavor. bit.ly/3o5uPoI
36
On my way to #Zaporizhzhya NPP to assess first-hand the #nuclear safety & security situation at the facility. I will continue my efforts to protect the nuclear plant during the ongoing military conflict, & lead our next regular rotation of @iaeaorg experts to & from the site.
37
Tomorrow I travel to Tehran to meet with senior Iranian officials to find a mutually agreeable solution, compatible with Iranian law, so that the @iaeaorg can continue essential verification activities in Iran. Looking forward to success – this is in everybody’s interest.

#Ethiopia is at the heart of African diplomacy, & we're launching Rays of Hope in Addis Ababa on #WorldCancerDay. Thank you 🇪🇹 Minister @DemekeHasen for your hospitality & enthusiastic support to #CancerCare4All—@iaeaorg will help Ethiopia tackle cancer & other dev. challenges.

Honoured to meet 🇺🇦 President @ZelenskyyUa for a thorough discussion on the safety and security situation at Ukrainian nuclear facilities. I assured him that @iaeaorg will continue to support #Ukraine.

Timely conversation with 🇺🇦 #Ukraine President @ZelenskyyUa on the eve of my visit to #Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant where I will assess the situation after the catastrophic Nova Kakhovka dam flooding.

Excellent meeting w/ 🇺🇦 @ZelenskyyUa on the current situation. I reiterated @iaeaorg will continue to be guided by int'l law & we made progress towards a nuclear safety & security protection zone at #Zaporizhzhya NPP. I'll return to Kyiv soon to continue this important exchange.

At the invitation of #Turkey’s Foreign Minister @MevlutCavusoglu I will travel tomorrow to Antalya. In meetings there I hope to make progress on the urgent issue of ensuring the safety and security of #Ukraine’s nuclear facilities. We need to act now!

UPDATE—I've been informed by our team on site that external power to #Zaporizhzhya NPP is restored. #ZNPP's operator says this morning's outage was caused by shelling damage to a far off sub-station, highlighting how precarious the situation is. We need a protection zone ASAP. twitter.com/rafaelmgrossi/…
