The global total of used nuclear fuel produced by nuclear power plants is about 448,000 tonnes of heavy metal, with three quarters in storage and one quarter reprocessed, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency's first interactive tool showing how much used nuclear fuel the world has - and where it is stored - by country.
 

Significant structural damage was caused to a building at the new central used fuel storage facility in the Chernobyl exclusion zone, International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi has said.
 

"Attacks on nuclear sites are unacceptable and must stop in order to prevent the very real risk of a nuclear accident," International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi has said following damage to a turbine building at Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant.
 

In a briefing to the United Nations Security Council following a drone strike near Barakah Nuclear Power Plant's inner perimeter, International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi has warned of the "most serious" consequences of a direct hit.
 

The International Atomic Energy Agency says it has been informed by the UAE that radiation levels at the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant remain normal and no injuries reported "after a drone strike ... caused a fire in an electrical generator located outside the inner site perimeter of the NPP".
 

More than 160 drones were recorded flying in the vicinity of Ukraine's nuclear power plants within one 24 hour period, the International Atomic Energy Agency has said, as it issued fresh warnings of the risks posed by military action near to civil nuclear facilities.
 

The Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant has had to rely on a single backup power line - and the subcritical Neutron Source Installation at the Kharkiv Institute of Physics and Technology and the Chernobyl site have both had to activate emergency backup diesel generators in recent days.
 

The International Atomic Energy Agency has said that "following information from Iran of a projectile incident on Tuesday evening, the IAEA can confirm that a structure 350 metres from the Bushehr NPP reactor was hit and destroyed".

 

An International Atomic Energy Agency team of experts has praised progress made by Poland in safely managing its radioactive waste, and recommended further steps as the country moves ahead with its nuclear power programme.
