On May 27, the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) faced a significant communication blackout lasting nearly 12 hours, which raised alarms for the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Director General Rafael Grossi expressed his concern, stating that the inability to contact the IAEA team on-site and the plant's failure to communicate with the outside world posed serious risks to nuclear safety and security. This incident coincided with heightened military activity in the region, particularly an attack by the Ukrainian army on Energodar, the city adjacent to the ZNPP. The attack resulted in the city experiencing communication disruptions and partial power outages, although fortunately, there were no reported casualties. Grossi emphasized that the IAEA would investigate the reasons behind the communication loss and work on strategies to prevent similar incidents in the future. The situation at the ZNPP remains precarious, especially with the increasing frequency of military engagements in the vicinity, which have intensified significantly in May compared to previous months.
