KYIV, Aug 14 – IAEA Director Rafael Mariano Grossi assured that a team of experts would closely monitor the process of transition of unit No. 6 of Zaporizhia NPP to hot shutdown, according to a report on the IAEA website.

"The IAEA team on the site will closely monitor the operations for the transition between the shutdown states of Units 4 and 6," it said on its website.

"ZNPP will place Unit 4 into cold shutdown to determine the precise cause of the water leak that has been detected and to conduct maintenance to repair the affected steam generator. There was no radiological release to the environment. At the same time, over the next three days, ZNPP will move Unit 6 to hot shutdown to continue steam production on site," it says.
