An International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) team today left Kyiv for an inspection of the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant in Ukraine amid the Russo-Ukraine war. His 13-member team, led by IAEA chief Rafael Grossi, will investigate Europe's largest nuclear power plant on Wednesday.
Russia captures nuclear station
The Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant is the 10th largest nuclear power plant in the world. It is also the largest nuclear power plant in Europe. Ukraine had control over this power plant before the Russian attack. However, after the invasion of Ukraine on 4 March 2022, Russian forces captured nuclear and thermal power stations in the Battle of Enerhodar, a border area. Since then it is under Russian occupation. In the Ukraine-Russia war for six months, the two countries have been accusing each other of attacking the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant.
The danger of leakage looming large in the nuclear plant
There is a danger of radiation leakage in the nuclear power plant due to attacks from both sides. In such a situation, Grossi, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), was trying to reach the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant with his team for a long time.
IAE team will ensure security arrangements
After getting the green signal from Russia, Grossi shared this information on Twitter and said, 'That day has come. The support and assistance mission for the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant is about to begin.
This visit of the International Atomic Energy Agency has been named 'IAE Mission'. Recently, the IAEA tweeted and informed that the team of experts will assess the working conditions of the workers working in the plant along with ensuring the safety arrangements there.
