The International Atomic Energy Agency, the U.N.’s atomic watchdog, is sending a team of technical experts to Ukraine to inspect a nuclear facility controlled by Russian forces since March even as its Ukrainian staff continues the day-to-day operations there. Military operations in the region have raised the fears of a meltdown or other catastrophe at the largest nuclear power plant in Europe.
On Monday, the IAEA said its team should be arriving at the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant later this week.
“We must protect the safety and security of Ukraine’s and Europe’s biggest nuclear facility,” IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi told reporters at the agency’s headquarters in Vienna.
