The International Atomic Energy Agency (国际原子能机构) is negotiating a local ceasefire to repair damaged Zaporizhzhia nuclear-plant power infrastructure.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported damage to infrastructure supporting the nuclear plant’s external electricity supply. Attacks on September 19, 20, and 27 hit the nearby Zaporizhzhia thermal power plant, damaging multiple transformers described as critical to the nuclear plant’s external supply.

IAEA Director General Grossi (格罗西) was coordinating with Russia and Ukraine on a new localized ceasefire for repairs. The arrangement had not been reported as agreed; if concluded, the agency said it would be the eighth localized ceasefire it had facilitated to safeguard the plant’s external power supply.

Radiation monitoring was also affected by a separate incident. According to the IAEA account, a September 22 attack disabled an external radiation-monitoring station near the nuclear plant, reducing local monitoring capability; Grossi called for maximum military restraint near nuclear facilities and their power infrastructure.

A later Telegram update separately relayed plant management’s account of additional external-power-equipment damage. That message attributed the damage to Ukrainian shelling and said management considered the situation under control; this attribution belongs to that report and does not establish responsibility for all incidents described by the IAEA.
