I updated the @IAEAorg Board of Governors on ATLAS, another flagship initiative that will be important for all our economies.
ATLAS will support the exploration of nuclear propulsion for merchant fleets and other applications at sea.

Attacking nuclear power plants is a taboo. It is a no-go.
I told the @IAEAorg Board of Governors that whether it is Bushehr, Barakah, Kursk or Zaporizhzhya, this cannot continue. We are playing with fire.

Following a difficult weekend at the ZNPP, I briefed the @IAEAorg Board of Governors this morning on our efforts to help maintain the latest IAEA-brokered ceasefire, including through Agency monitoring of the mine-clearing work required before repairs to the crucial Dniprovska power line can begin.
The IAEA will continue doing everything it can to help prevent a nuclear accident during the military conflict.

Operating nuclear power plants like Barakah NPP host thousands of kg of nuclear material in the core of the reactors, fresh and spent fuel.
A direct hit or the loss of power supplies could have severe consequences for people and the environment.

RT by @rafaelmgrossi: A localized ceasefire brokered by the IAEA took effect on the frontline near the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) today, paving the way for crucial power line repairs to prevent the threat of a nuclear accident.
In work monitored by IAEA experts, technicians from both sides will in coming days start repairing war-related damage to the 750 kilovolt (kV) Dniprovska power line following extensive de-mining of the area.
The 750 kV power line was disconnected more than two months ago, leaving Europe’s largest NPP entirely reliant on a single 330 kV line for the electricity it needs to cool its six shutdown reactors. In recent weeks, the ZNPP has several times lost access also to this line, forcing it to start operating its emergency diesel generators as a last resort.
It is the sixth temporary ceasefire that IAEA DG @rafaelmgrossi has negotiated with Russia and Ukraine since late last year to help secure off-site power and ensure nuclear safety.
This time, preparations for the repairs have been complicated by the location of the power line damage: on top of high pylons across the line of control in the Dnipro River.
DG Grossi says the Russian Federation and Ukraine engaged constructively with the IAEA during weeks of sensitive and complex talks, with both sides agreeing to cease fire for the sake of nuclear safety.
The IAEA will continue to do everything it can to help protect people and the environment from the risk of a nuclear accident that would benefit absolutely no one and only add further to wartime devastation and suffering, DG Grossi says.
