- The Zaporizhzhia power plant– Europe’s largest nuclear facility — has been occupied by Russian troops since March and there have been repeated attacks in its vicinity, sparking fears of a nuclear disaster.
- The remark comes after the UN atomic watchdog (IAEA) said the situation at the plant was “untenable” and called for “the immediate establishment of a nuclear safety and security protection zone” in a report published Tuesday.
- Karine Herviou, the general director of the French Institute for Radiological Protection and Nuclear Safety, warned Wednesday of a potential “Fukushima-type scenario”.
