An International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) expert team should be allowed access to the occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine to examine “discrepancies” between measurements of the height of the reservoir that is supplying water to cool the facility’s six reactors and spent fuel storage, said the UN body’s head Rafael Grossi.
Grossi said in a statement that the level of the Kakhovka reservoir has been dropping rapidly since an explosion breached its dam wall on Tuesday last week, but measurements at the local inlet and pond at the Zaporizhzhia plant have remained stable.
