According to information from Moscow, experts from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) examined the plant for damage following the Russian-occupied Ukrainian nuclear power plant Zaporizhia was shelled. This was announced by the adviser to the Russian nuclear power plant operator Rosenergoatom, Renat Karchaa, according to the state news agency TASS.
The experts might have viewed all the objects of interest to them. There was no information on the inspection from the IAEA side.
Dozens of grenade hits
Earlier, Karchaa said inspectors would only be given access to areas related to nuclear safety. Only that is covered by their mandate. If the experts want to inspect other areas, they will be refused.
The largest nuclear power plant in Europe was shaken by dozens of shells on Saturday and yesterday. The facility had come under fire several times in the previous months. Ukraine and Russia blame each other for this.
The Russian nuclear company Rosatom said there was a risk of a nuclear accident due to the shelling. He was in contact with the IAEA all night, said Rosatom Director General Alexei Lichatschow at an international nuclear energy forum in Sochi, southern Russia, according to the Interfax agency.
