Share:
The International Atomic Energy Agency has expressed alarm over reports of an incident at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine. The facility, which is Europe's largest nuclear power station, has been a focal point of international concern since Russia's invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022. The plant has been under Russian control since early in the conflict, with Ukrainian staff continuing to operate the facility under occupation. The IAEA, the UN's nuclear watchdog, has repeatedly warned about the risks of military activity near nuclear facilities and has maintained a permanent presence at the site to monitor safety conditions.
