Russia is building protective structures to shield the used fuel storage facility at the Zaporizhzhia NPP (ZNPP). This is according to Vladimir Rogov, a member of the main council of Zaporozhye, who posted a short video of the work that’s taking place on his Telegram channel. It showed technicians setting up shields over the tanks that hold used nuclear fuel. The dome is designed to protect the storage facilities from shrapnel and improvised explosive devices carried by drones, he explained, adding that it would be further reinforced further at a later period. The video showed workers mounting a screen of transparent sheeting on wires above dozens of concrete cylinders about 5 metres high.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) 14-member Support and Assistance Mission to Zaporizhzhia (ISAMZ) team of experts arrived at Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia NPP on the morning of 1 September after being delayed for several hours by shelling near the site. The IAEA said on Twitter that the team had arrived at the plant “to conduct indispensable nuclear safety and security and safeguards activities”. Reuters said its reporter saw the team arrive in a large convoy with a heavy presence of Russian soldiers nearby. Russia and Ukraine have accused each other of trying to sabotage the team’s visit to the NPP, which is controlled by Russian forces but operated by Ukrainian staff.
