Europe’s largest nuclear power plant is “completely out of control” and urgent action needs taking to prevent a catastrophic disaster.
That is the warning from Rafael Grossi, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), of the facility in Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine, which was seized by the Russian army following their invasion in February.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky insisted it could be “the end of Europe” should an explosion occur at the plant, with Grossi pleading with Vladimir Putin to let an IAEA mission proceed in order to undertake crucial safety checks and repairs of the sprawling complex.
