According to Korikov, possible attempts by the occupiers to launch ZNPP power units to generate electricity will completely contradict the terms of the license, rules and regulations on nuclear and radiation safety.

"We are well aware that the safety systems and equipment of the occupied Zaporizhzhia NPP are far from being in the best condition. More than two years of military occupation, lack of proper maintenance and repairs, incompetent and illegitimate personnel led to a significant degradation of nuclear and radiation safety, lack of emergency response capability," SNRIU Chairman said and emphasized that any attempts to resume electricity production at ZNPP are another cynical blackmail by the russian occupiers.

Korikov emphasized that safe operation of the plant is possible only after its demilitarization and return under the control of Ukraine.

• ZNPP reactors are reaching the end of their shelf life. Energoatom said that russia is not able to replace it on its own. "To do this, it is necessary to disassemble the reactor, gain access to it, and then carry out a very complex technological operation to reload it. This requires licensed personnel, which is not available now. It also requires complex management and technical decisions on what to do with the fuel that will be unloaded. There are people there who have never done this," explained Energoatom CEO Petro Kotin.
• The IAEA Board of Governors supported the draft resolution on nuclear safety, security and safeguards in Ukraine by a majority vote. It requires the return of Zaporizhzhia NPP under the control of Kyiv.
• The russian Foreign Ministry said that any resolutions and statements on the return of the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant to Ukrainian control are considered "as a violation of the sovereignty of the russian Federation".
• At the same time, on March 12, Grossi said that the non-admission of Ukrainian specialists to the temporarily occupied Zaporizhzhia NPP "does not pose a danger to the plant."
