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

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.
53
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.
54
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.
55
I’ve told #UNSC today that the situation at #Zaporizhzya NPP was alarming. Military actions jeopardizing nuclear safety and security must stop immediately. An @iaeaorg mission would allow us to carry out needed technical activities and provide a stabilizing influence.
56
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.
57
We're working to send an expert mission to #Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant. The biggest NPP in Europe is currently disconnected from @iaeaorg safeguards communications systems. #Ukraine requested us, we will go there.

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。
59
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.
60
.@iaeaorg is here in #Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant to deliver equipment, conduct radiological assessments and restore safeguards monitoring systems. #Ukraine updated the IAEA on the current nuclear and radiation safety, and security situation of 🇺🇦 nuclear installations.
61
I was honoured to meet the #Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant staff and personally thank them for their resilience and courage during such extremely difficult times. They have my and @iaeaorg's full respect and admiration: they are heroes.
62
Today marks 36 years since the #Chornobyl nuclear power plant accident, the most severe in the history of nuclear power. I'm here to pay respect to the victims of the nuclear accident and to all those who work tirelessly to rebuild and protect this place.

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
64
I will head an @iaeaorg assistance and support mission to the #Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant as soon as possible. It will be the first in a series of such nuclear safety and security missions to #Ukraine.
65
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.

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

The @iaeaorg is ready to deploy its nuclear experts to #Ukraine to ensure the safety and security of the country’s nuclear facilities. nbcnews.to/3Iil6Tn

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!

Today I signed a statement with Vice-President and President of the Atomic Energy Organization of #Iran 🇮🇷, Mohammad Eslami. A lot of work ahead of us.

Told @UN SC I’m extremely concerned about events at #Ukraine #Zaporizhzhia NPP. They proved that armed conflict in the area of a NPP puts at risk the fundamental principle that the physical integrity of nuclear facilities must be maintained & they should be kept safe at all time.

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.
