United Nations inspectors are due to visit the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant – Europe’s largest nuclear facility – as they seek to safeguard the site amid artillery shelling that has prompted global fears of disaster.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) mission arrived in the southern city of Zaporizhzhia, located 55 km (34 miles) from the plant, on Wednesday and Ukraine’s defence ministry said the inspectors were scheduled to visit the facility on Thursday.
