IAEA:s inspektion: Fysiska integriteten har kränkts
FN:s atomorgan IAEA säger att de har fått se vad de behöver på kärnkraftverket i Zaporizjzja, rapporterar BBC.
– Jag tycker att vi har kunnat samla in mycket information under de få timmar vi har varit här, säger chefen Rafael Grossi.
Han konstaterar att kraftverkets ”fysiska integritet” har kränkts.
– Det är helt uppenbart att den har kränkts flera gånger, säger han.
Grossi säger att några ur den 14 personer stora delegationen ska lämna Zaporizjzja samtidigt som några av dem ska stanna.

The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Station (Ukrainian: Запорізька атомна електростанція, romanized: Zaporizʹka atomna elektrostantsiya) in southeastern Ukraine is the largest nuclear power plant in Europe and among the 10 largest in the world. It was built by the Soviet Union near the city of Enerhodar, on the southern shore of the Kakhovka Reservoir on the Dnieper river. It is operated by Energoatom, who also operate Ukraine's other three nuclear power stations.
The plant has 6 VVER-1000 pressurized light water nuclear reactors (PWR), each fuelled with 235U (LEU) and generating 950 MWe, for a total power output of 5,700 MWe. The first five were successively brought online between 1985 and 1989, and the sixth was added in 1995. The plant generates nearly half of the country's electricity derived from nuclear power, and more than a fifth of total electricity generated in Ukraine. The Zaporizhzhia thermal power station is nearby.
On 4 March 2022, the nuclear and thermal power stations were both captured by Russian forces during the Battle of Enerhodar of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. As of 12 March 2022 the plant is reportedly controlled by the Russian company Rosatom. The plant continues to be operated by Ukrainian staff, under Russian control.
