For the past two weeks, the experts from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) have been denied access to the reactor halls of units 1, 2, and 6 of the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, the IAEA said on Jan. 3.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has stated on 3 January that its experts had been recently banned from inspecting the reactor halls of three power units at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) for the first time.
IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi said authorities at the plant informed the agency they were beginning to move reactor 5 from cold to hot shutdown in order to provide warm water and heating for Enerhodar ahead of the winter season.
The occupying Russian authorities at the plant ordered the transition of reactor 4 from cold to hot shutdown in order to generate steam required for safety functions at the nuclear facility.
Russian invasion forces, who have controlled the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) since the early days of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, have put the plant’s fifth reactor into cold shutdown, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported on July 29.
The staff of the occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) has completed the planned switch of the 5th power unit to the cold shutdown mode, simultaneously switching the 4th power unit to a hot shutdown mode.
Reactor unit 5 at the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) was successfully switched to cold shutdown status to conduct maintenance only possible in that state, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Rafael Mariano Grossi said on July 29.

they are in negotiations with them. also the personnel is allowed to continue working on the units. when the shelling started, we actually started bringing the unit to the safe stage to stop work at the units and bring that to the cold shutdown, which is the most safe stage for this type of reactor. at the moment we have only one unit which is left in operation in zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. the situation is very serious indeed.— power plant. the situation is very serious indeed. thank you very much for “oininu serious indeed. thank you very much forjoining us. _ serious indeed. thank you very much forjoining us, petro _ serious indeed. thank you very much forjoining us, petro kotin, _ forjoining us, petro kotin, updating us with the situation at the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. we can go to vienna.
