The International Atomic Energy Agency says it has found no explosives in areas of the Russian-held Zaporizhzhia nuclear power station in southern Ukraine to which it had requested access a month earlier.
The agency said its staff at the six-unit nuclear facility saw no mines or explosives on the rooftops of Unit 3 and Unit 4 reactor buildings and the turbine halls after having been given access on 3 August.
The agency’s director-general Rafael Grossi said following repeated requests, the IAEA team had unimpeded access to the rooftops of the two reactor units and could also clearly view the rooftops of the turbine halls.
“The team will continue its requests to visit the roofs of the other 4 units at Zaporizhzhia,” an IAEA statement said.
