IAEA Chief Visits Ukraine Nuclear Plant Threatened by War, Declares 'Measures' Taken for Safety
- Rafael Mariano Grossi, head of the IAEA, visited Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine to assess safety concerns amid the war between Ukraine and Russia.
- The plant has been caught in crossfire, and the destruction of a nearby dam has jeopardized cooling water supply to the reactors.
- Grossi stated "a number of measures" had been taken to stabilize the situation, though security documents between Russia and Ukraine remain "unrealistic."
- IAEA inspectors will remain at the plant, where the situation is serious but cooling water levels are currently sufficient.
- The campaign to counter Russian forces could take a long time as attacks continue.
