About 500 Russian military personnel and Rosatom employees are at ZNPP
"About 500 Russian soldiers and Rosatom employees are at the plant. We don't know what kind of weapons they use to mine the plant," Head of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Military Administration Yuriy Malashko told a briefing.
Malashko stated that the invaders use the plant’s territory to shell the populated settlements of Zaporizhzhia and Dnipropetrovsk regions and also store weapons and ammunition there.
The governor added that it was decided to measure the radiation level in Zaporizhzhia region every two hours to control the radiation background.
As reported, according to Energoatom data, the water level in the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant's cooling pond remains stable as of July 13. The ZNPP power units have not been operating since September 2022, and since then there has been no active evaporation of water.
On July 4, the Armed Forces of Ukraine officially warned about the possible preparation of provocations at the ZNPP by the Russian invaders.
The IAEA announced on July 12 that the organization's experts did not find any mines or explosives during the inspection of the ZNPP. However, it admitted that it was still waiting for permission from the Russians to access the roofs of the third and fourth reactors, where, according to available information, there may be explosives.
