Ukraine and Russia accused each other of attacking the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant over the weekend as concerns remain high the over threat of a nuclear meltdown amid continued fighting in the region.
The fire that erupted at Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant over the weekend has been extinguished, Russian state media reported on Monday while citing Russia’s nuclear energy agency Rosatom. But both Moscow and Kyiv continue to point the blame at each other as concerns over a nuclear meltdown remain high.
The IAEA said it has requested immediate access to the cooling tower to 'ascertain the extent and possible cause of this event.' But it remains unclear if access was permitted.
