Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant has been under Russian military control since March 2022 and its director has said he expects Russian licences for operation of all units to be obtained by the end of 2027. Ukraine's Energoatom says any talk of restarting the units is a violation of nuclear and radiation safety standards.

The Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant has 20 emergency diesel generators for use in case of a loss of external power, with International Atomic Energy Agency staff at the site witnessing tests on the generators this week.

International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi says they "stand ready" to support the implementation of any future agreement regarding Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, after its status was included in ceasefire talks.

The delegation, which included members of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development's nuclear safety department, came a month after Chernobyl unit 4's giant shelter was damaged by a drone strike.

A multi-year project in collaboration with the UK Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC), NAC International, Inc, and the University of Sheffield has culminated in the manufacture of a first-of-its-kind disposal canister prototype and elevated Deep Isolation's technology readiness level.

The two part-built units at the Khmelnitsky nuclear power plant could be finished with unused equipment from Bulgaria's discontinued Belene nuclear power plant project, with President Volodymyr Zelensky signing into law the legal framework for the acquisition.

The State Emergency Service of Ukraine has said that work to tackle the smouldering fires in the insulation layers of Chernobyl's giant shelter has been completed, three weeks after it was struck by a drone. The International Atomic Energy Agency says radiation levels have remained at normal levels.

France's Orano has signed an agreement to supply enrichment services for Ukraine's Energoatom through to 2040.

International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi says that the decision for the rotation of agency experts at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant to take place via Russia, rather than via Ukraine as usual, was because "I could not take risks with the lives of my experts, and any other political consideration was out of place".
