The Zaporizhia nuclear power plant, occupied by Russian forces, has “lost connection again” to the electricity grid, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) announced on Saturday September 3 in a press release, whose experts are on square. The last line still in operation “has been damaged”, explained the IAEA, recalling that the other three had been “lost previously during the conflict”. This incident occurred “after new bombings in the area”, according to information provided by the Ukrainian authorities to the UN body. However, the site continues to operate “thanks to a help line”, specifies the IAEA. Already on August 25, the plant, the largest in Europe, was completely disconnected from the Ukrainian network for the first time in its history, before being reconnected. The situation at the Zaporizhia power plant worries many international leaders. The two belligerents accuse each other of having carried out the bombardments which targeted their site, and of risking triggering a nuclear catastrophe. The IAEA is now informed almost in real time thanks to its team who arrived this week with Director General Rafael Grossi, “very worried” about the risk of a major nuclear accident.
