Despite these alarming developments, a recent inspection by the International Atomic Energy Agency found no evidence of explosives at the facility. However, it did mention the presence of mines around the site and critical access points, further highlighting the potential danger.
It should be noted that the six reactors in the Zaporizhizhia nuclear power plant are currently in shutdown mode. While the situation is serious, the cooling water level has remained sufficient. Moreover, the wind in the area is currently blowing south-easterly, meaning that any potential radiation leak would drift toward Russian troop positions and the Russian city of Rostov-on-Don.
