'Mad panic' evacuation as IAEA warns of a nuclear accident at Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant occupied by Russian forces
Story by bdawson@insider.com (Bethany Dawson) • 9h ago

An exodus from towns and settlements has begun as fears mount of fighting near a contested nuclear power plant in Ukraine, say officials.

The UN International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said the situation around the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant that is occupied by Russian troops was becoming critical.

"We must act now to prevent the threat of a severe nuclear accident and its associated consequences for the population and the environment," said a statement from the IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi

Whilst the nuclear reactors are not currently producing energy, Grossi told the BBC's Newshour program that the nuclear materials remain at the site and, therefore, still pose a high risk if fighting was to break out in or near the plant.

"The general situation in the area near the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant is becoming increasingly unpredictable and potentially dangerous," Grossi said in a statement.
