KIEV — Shelling in the Ukrainian city of Enerhodar is putting the embattled Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) at risk, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) warned in a statement on Friday.The shelling has destroyed the power infrastructure feeding the city, where staff operating the plant live, causing a complete blackout that also threatens the nuclear facility.IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi said given the increased and continued shelling, there is little likelihood of re-establishing reliable offsite power to the plant.‘An unsustainable situation’ As a result, Ukraine is considering shutting down the plant’s only remaining operating reactor.
