IAEA team assesses Zaporizhzhia NPP cooling tower after fire This informationcomesfrom the agency's latest report. Experts believe it’s unlikely the fire originated at the base of the cooling tower. Their assessment suggests the damage likely occurred inside the tower, around the water nozzle distribution level, which is situated approximately 10 meters high. The report mentions that the IAEA team requested access to the water nozzle distribution level, as they were only able to inspect the lower section. They also viewed the basin of water at the tower’s base from above and requested access to that area too. However, the team was denied access to both locations, reportedly due to security concerns. Additionally, the IAEA team observed charred internal equipment near the water nozzle distribution level. They also noticed traces of burnt plastic and fragments of concrete scattered across the basin of water. The specialists collected samples, including burnt and melted plastic. The smell at the station, they noted, likely came from the burning plastic. Despite the inspection, the team reported finding no evidence of tires or drone wreckage. They also noted that no debris, ash,…

The 750 kV power line at Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant ... There is no evidence of any military strikes in the area surrounding the pylons and network of power lines in this part of Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. The investigation by Greenpeace Ukraine is conclusive new evidence that the electric power loss at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) is a deliberate act of sabotage by Russia. The aim is to permanently disconnect the plant from the Ukraine grid and connect the nuclear plant to the grid occupied by Russia. 1 October 2025, Kyiv…Former military remote sensing experts at McKenzie Intelligence Services (MIS) have reviewed high resolution satellite imagery from 26 September 2025 supplied by Greenpeace Ukraine. In their report (1) , MIS show that there has been no shelling or attacks at the location of the 750 kV transmission tower. It is exposing Russia’s false claims that the loss of external power at ZNPP is due to Ukraine military attacks. McKenzie concludes that if there is any damage to the line at all, it is minimal and could be easily repaired. “Satellite imagery shows that Russia has deliberately sabotaged the external power line in an attempt to connect…
