A team of experts from the International Atomic Energy Agency arrived on Thursday at the nuclear power plant in southern Ukraine, after a delay of several hours caused by bombings carried out near the objective, Reuters reports. The IAEA director Rafael Grossi previously declared that the visit was a „technical mission” aimed at preventing a nuclear accident. The mission is a step towards the „de-occupation and demilitarization” of this nuclear power complex, the Ukrainian Energy Minister Herman Haluschenko said in an interview. The Nuclear Power Plant in Zaporozhe, Europe’s largest, was seized by the Russians in March, but it is still managed by Ukrainian personnel. The perimeter of the plant has been repeatedly bombed in the last month, with Kiev and Moscow accusing each other of the attacks.
