SHOTLIST
1. Various shots, Grossi at the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant
2. SOUNDBITE (English) Rafael Grossi, Director-General, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA):
“I am visiting this Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant for the third time to assess the consequences and the effects of the destruction of the Nova Kakhovka dam down the river. Behind me, the river and the reservoir, it is quite visible to see the level of the water has been decreasing steadily and importantly, that the water which is in the cooling pond adjacent to this access stays at the present level so that the plant can continue to be cooled. Obviously, this is not going to last for too long, a few months maybe. And we'll be working on replenishing on getting more water through alternative measures which we are studying with them.”

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Rafael Grossi, Director-General, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA):
“One of the most serious consequences of the destruction of the Nova Kakhovka dam has been the decrease in the level of waters which is needed to cool the nuclear power plant behind me. I'm here standing just at the intersection between the reservoir on my right and the river proper. And then behind me which you can see is the cooling pond, which is essential for the safety of these plants that the water that you see behind me stays at that level. There is evaporation, there can be some leak, but it has to be maintained at that level. With the water is here, the plant can be kept safe for some time. The plant is going to be working to replenish the water so that safety functions can continue normally. So of course it's something that we will be monitoring very closely.”

STORYLINE
IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi visited Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant today (15 Jun).
Visiting the power plant for the third time, Grossi said, “One of the most serious consequences of the destruction of the Nova Kakhovka dam has been the decrease in the level of waters which is needed to cool the nuclear power.
He said, “behind me, the river and the reservoir, it is quite visible to see the level of the water has been decreasing steadily and importantly, that the water which is in the cooling pond adjacent to this access stays at the present level so that the plant can continue to be cooled.”
He continued, “Obviously, this is not going to last for too long, a few months maybe. And we'll be working on replenishing on getting more water through alternative measures which we are studying with them.”
