The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency is urging creation of a safety zone around the embattled nuclear power plant in Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine, Europe’s largest nuclear power plant.
Since Russian forces seized control of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) in March, the facility has continued to operate but has lost access to outside power multiple times, with structural damage to its exterior from shelling. The largest nuclear power plant in Europe, the Zaporizhzhia facility is located in a hotly contested region of southeastern Ukraine.
