This is reported in a statement by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
It is noted that Rafael Grossi seeks to assess the nuclear safety situation at the facility firsthand and emphasize the urgent need to protect it during the war: that is why he is heading to ZNPP next week.
"Despite our presence at the site for seven months now, the situation at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant is still precarious. The nuclear safety and security dangers are all too obvious, as is the necessity to act now to prevent an accident with potential radiological consequences to the health and the environment for people in Ukraine and beyond. I’m therefore continuing to work on a proposal to protect the plant," he said.
IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi said that the creation of a demilitarized zone around the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant is no longer being considered.
