The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is currently in Ukraine to address safety concerns at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, the largest in Europe. This visit comes in the wake of recent attacks near the plant, raising fears of a potential nuclear accident.
The Zaporizhzhia plant, which is now under Russian control following the 2022 invasion, experienced artillery shelling that damaged its power access infrastructure. The operator, Energoatom, attributed the attacks to Russia, stating that one of the external power lines was damaged, posing a risk of an emergency situation if the second line is also affected.
