The European Union called for rapid intervention by the International Atomic Energy Agency amid growing concern about the safety of Ukraine’s nuclear plants, two of which have been seized by invading Russian forces.
EU Energy Commissioner Kadri Simson, in a letter to IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi, called on Russia to “return all of Ukraine’s nuclear facilities to the full operational and regulatory control of Ukraine, including unhindered access of staff to these facilities, both at Zaporizhzhia as well as in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.”
