United Nations The"alarming" situation at a Russian-occupied nuclear power plant in southeastern Ukraine had reached a"grave hour," the head of the United Nations' nuclear watchdog said Thursday, as he called for an immediate inspection of the facility by international experts.
International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi warned that parts of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant had been knocked out due to recent attacks, risking an"unacceptable" potential radiation leak."IAEA experts believe that there is no immediate threat to nuclear safety," but"that could change at any moment," Grossi said. "Any military action jeopardizing nuclear safety, nuclear security, must stop immediately," he added.
