(Reuters) - Ukraine has asked the International Atomic Energy Agency for "a comprehensive list of equipment" it needs to operate nuclear power plants during the war with Russia, IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi said on Saturday.

This includes radiation measurement devices, protective material, computer-related assistance, power supply systems and diesel generators, he said in a statement.

"We will coordinate the implementation of the assistance that the IAEA and its member states will provide, including by delivering required equipment directly to Ukraine's nuclear sites," he said.

"The needs are great and I'm very grateful for the considerable support that our Member States have already indicated they will make available."

Ukraine has 15 operational reactors at four plants of which seven are currently connected to the grid, including two at the Zaporizhzhia facility which is currently controlled by Russia.

Grossi said the IAEA was still not receiving remote data transmission from its monitoring systems installed at the defunct Chornobyl plant.

Next week Rossi is due to visit the power station, which Russian forces occupied soon after invading Ukraine but left on March 31. He said he would hand over radiation monitoring equipment as well as personal protective equipment.

Starting to make a guy wonder...pleading for all that military equipment, then turning around and asking for assistance with nuclear equipment and facilities...not that long after Xi was talking about a world police force in conjunction with Russia, and the baby king in North Korea talking about an 'unseen unbeatable force'.I smell trouble.

How about if we deal with the tens of millions of migrants who invaded our own country before we worry about helping Ukraine.
Oh you are doing anything to help? Or just complaining online? Such a useless snowflake.
Another ripoff of the American & European taxpayers. Nothing more. The dead are just collateral damage in the pursuit of what some are willing to do for great wealth. Nothing new, either.
