Russian state nuclear power company #Rosatom stated that the former chief engineer of the #Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (#ZNPP) has become the new director of the ZNPP. isw.pub/UkrWar113022 
2/ Rosatom advisor Renat Karchaa announced on November 30 that Yuriy Chernichuk has become the new ZNPP director and the first deputy general director of the Joint Stock Company “Operating Organization of the ZNPP..."
...which is the entity that Rosatom formed on October 3 to essentially replace Ukrainian company Energoatom as the plant’s operator and to oversee the “safe operation” of the ZNPP and manage personnel activities within the plant.
3/ Karchaa also noted that the entire management company of the ZNPP is formed of existing members of ZNPP staff who have signed a new employment contract.
4/ Rosatom's direct role in ZNPP management is consistent with Russian efforts to install and maintain control of the ZNPP in a way that is likely intended to force the IAEA to de facto accept Russian claims over the plant by interacting with Russian-controlled ZNPP staff.
