7:40 a.m .: IAEA “making progress” for access to the Ukrainian nuclear power plant in Zaporizhia, according to Rafael Grossi
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is “making progress” in gaining access to the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant in southern Ukraine, its director general Rafael Grossi said on Friday. The head of the IAEA specified that inspectors had visited several sites including the cooling pools, but that they had not had access to the roofs where Ukraine suspects the Russian forces, which occupy the plant, of having placed mines or explosives. “I’m pretty confident we’ll get that clearance,” he said. “It’s a combat zone, it’s an active war zone, so sometimes it can take a day or two to get the clearances,” he explained.
