IAEA To Rotate Inspectors At Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Plant: RIA

Chief of the UN’s International Atomic Energy Agency Rafael Grossi says the watchdog intends to rotate inspectors at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant next week, Russian state-owned news agency RIA Novosti reported.

Grossi said the plans must be agreed with Russian and Ukrainian authorities, RIA Novosti added. Currently, the plant is operated by Ukrainian staff, but Russian military units guard the facility.

It is the largest nuclear plant in Europe and among the 10 biggest in the world. It generates half of Ukraine’s nuclear-derived power.

Russia occupied the plant shortly after invading Ukraine on Februar 24.
