Not assessed yet; the next scheduled run will rate it.

Why it matters: Fighting near nuclear power plants risks a radiological release; the IAEA reports on Zaporizhzhia and other plants in or near war zones.
What moves it: Off-site power losses, strikes near plants, staffing, cooling water, military occupation.

Rubric — Alert: Damage to safety-critical systems, an INES level 2 or higher event, or a radiological release. | Watch: A plant loses all off-site power, strikes land near a plant, or the IAEA reports a deteriorating safety situation. | Normal: No new IAEA safety concerns at plants in or near conflict zones.
