The U.N. atomic watchdog hopes to deploy around 15 to 20 staff to Ukraine's nuclear facilities if an agreement with Kyiv and Moscow is reached on ensuring safety there, a U.S. congressman said on Thursday after a meeting with the watchdog's chief.
Since Russia invaded Ukraine a month ago, International Atomic Energy Agency chief Rafael Grossi has called on both countries to urgently agree a framework to ensure Ukraine's nuclear facilities, including the radioactive waste facilities at Chernobyl and Europe's biggest nuclear power plant at Zaporizhzhia, are safe and secure.
