It is unclear how Russia plans to operate the Zaporizhzhia factory and whether or not to send domestic experts to come here.
Zaporizhzhia nuclear factory is located in the southern province of the same name, where Russia has just announced the merger, along with three other provinces in Ukraine, Donetsk, Lugansk and Kherson.
Many recent artillery occurred around the factory area, raising concerns about the risk of a nuclear incident similar to the chernobyl disaster in 1986. Russia and Ukraine accused each other of causing these attacks.
After Russia's announcement, Rafael Grossi, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), announced him to set out to Kiev to discuss the establishment of a security zone around the Zaporizhzhia factory.
