> Rosatom said a Ukrainian drone detonated after crashing into the cooling tower of Unit 1 at Kursk NPP-2 on September 17. The minor damage did not affect operations, and the unit continued running at 100% capacity, with safety assured and radiation levels unchanged within natural background limits. IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi called attacks on nuclear facilities unacceptable and warned they could jeopardize nuclear safety and security.
