IAEA continues to underlines the extremely precarious nuclear security situation that continues to increase as the war continues. The 2 explosions fortunately did not affect the site or alter its operations, but the shock waves generated damaged multiple windows, the power outage forced temporary reliance on backup power supplies, and finally the damage sustained by the nearby city forced some of the staff to work from home. President Grossi affirms the need to protect Nuclear Power Plants and avoid being targets of explosions at all costs.
