Four IAEA Experts Begin Duty at Zaporozhye Nuclear Plant After Rotation, TASS Reports

Four experts from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) have begun working at the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant following a rotation of personnel, Russian state news agency TASS reported.

According to TASS, the security of the rotation was ensured by servicemen of the Russian Defense Ministry, personnel of the Russian National Guard, and officers from the Main Directorate of the Russian Interior Ministry for the Zaporozhye Region.

The report did not specify the identities of the outgoing or incoming IAEA experts, nor did it provide further details on the timing or logistics of the rotation.

The Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant, Europe's largest, has been under Russian control since shortly after Moscow's invasion of Ukraine in 2022. The IAEA has maintained a continuous presence of monitors at the facility as part of international efforts to ensure nuclear safety amid the ongoing conflict, with staff periodically rotated in and out.

TASS did not cite additional sources or independent confirmation of the rotation in its report.
