International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi will lead an inspection of the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine this week, he said in a statement on Twitter.
The visit to Europe’s biggest nuclear power station will take place amid almost-daily reports of new shelling and damage to infrastructure surrounding its six reactors. A document circulated late Sunday among IAEA diplomats reported damage close to where spent fuel is stored.
