There has been video posted online of tracer fire
at Ukraine’s biggest atomic plant, Zaporizhzhya.
The
Guardian’s Julian Borger wrote today about concerns from UN officials as
Russian forces claimed that they had surrounded the nuclear plant:
The UN nuclear watchdog has voiced concern after
Russian forces claimed to have surrounded Ukraine’s biggest atomic plant, and
called for its workers to be left alone to do their jobs.
Rafael Grossi, the director general of the
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), said the Russian government had
informed the agency that its troops had taken control of the area around the
Zaporizhzhia plant in south-eastern Ukraine, the second biggest in Europe,
housing six of the country’s 15 reactors.
In their letter to the IAEA, Russian officials
insisted that Ukrainian staff at the plant were continuing to “work on
providing nuclear safety and monitoring radiation in normal mode of operation”.
However, the Ukrainian state enterprise running
the country’s nuclear industry, Energoatom, accused the Russian military of
“openly terrorizing employees of the station and residents of its satellite
city Energodar”.
