I little-known fact: the town Enerhodar is now not that far away from conflict zone
It has the lagest nuclear power in Europe and produces up to 1/4 of Ukraine electricity
It's now much more important than Chernobyl NPP/Pripyat

I am finishing my first visit to #Ukraine’s #Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant.
@IAEAorg is here to stay and will maintain a continued presence at #ZNPP.
"The key things I needed to see, I saw", - head of @iaeaorg@rafaelmgrossi while visiting Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant
He said in a few hours mission was able to gather a lot of important information.
International atomic agency will leave its representatives on plant.
⚡ IAEA's Support and Assistance Mission to #Zaporizhzhya (ISAMZ) led by Director General @RafaelMGrossi has just arrived at Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant to conduct indispensable nuclear safety and security and safeguards activities.
No water supply in #Enerhodar after shelling, also most city districts nave no electricity
Communal water intake was damaged, also electricity is needed to run water pumps
IAEA mission arrival didn't change anything as of now: more shelling
#Ukraine
"In the morning there was a hit on the NPP site, oil handling facility (where steam generators are). There was a fire, around 07:00 local time"

#Energoatom:
"Furthermore, the ZNPP 330 kV backup power supply line used for in-house needs was damaged"
"In the transitional mode, the non-operating power unit 2 was de-energized with the start-up of diesel generators"
#Ukraine nuclear agency (SNRIU):
"Russian occupying forces shelled the #Zaporizhzhia NPP location area and the city of #Enerhodar for an hour"
"At 04:57 (Kyiv time) Unit 5 was disconnected from the grid due to emergency shutdown"
"Unit 6 continues operating (no comments)"
Today at 15:00 local time @iaeaorg mission arrived to #Zaporizhzhia city (≈100km from the NPP)
They are yet to cross the front line
Reportedly russia specifically targets (shells) the roads they'd need to use for traveling to the NPP
