Smoke at Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant's administration building, IAEA confirms no radiation risk or casualties

Aug 12 (Reuters) - International Atomic Energy Agency staff at Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant observed smoke rising from the administrative building, following reports of a fire near the cooling towers, Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi said on Tuesday.

"No radiation increase, no nuclear safety impact reported, and no casualties," Grossi said.

Russian state media cited the Russian-installed governor of Zaporizhzhia region saying it was a result of dry grass catching fire after shelling and that radiation levels remain normal.
