New developments from the nuclear power plant in Ukraine: Russian forces have also banned the internet

Russian forces reportedly have banned several mobile networks and internet at the nuclear power plant Zaporizhja.
According to the International Atomic Energy Agency Director-General (IAEA), Rafael Mariano Grossi has stressed that reliable information from the site can no longer be obtained through normal communication channels.

Ukraine's nuclear regulator has confirmed that there were major communication problems with the staff operating at this thermal power plant.

The IAEA added that there were also problems with availability and food supply in the factory.

I'm extremely concerned about these developments that reported me today. Just days after I presented the seven main elements of nuclear security and safety on the IAEA Board, some of them are already being compromised. To be able to operate the facility safely, management and staff should be allowed to carry out their vital tasks under sustainable conditions without unnecessary interference or external pressure”, Grossi said, CNN reported.

He added that the deteriorating situation over communication between the regulator and the NPP at this nuclear power plant is also a source of deep concern.

Especially during a war that could endanger the country's nuclear facilities at any time. Reliable communications according to regulators and operators are a critical part of general nuclear security and security”, he said.

Otherwise, it was reported earlier that Zaporizhja's nuclear power plant is now under orders from the commander of the Russian forces who took over the country last week.
