Inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) are due to inspect the Russian-held Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant today after arriving in Ukrainian-controlled Zaporizhzhia city on Wednesday, APA reports citing The Guardian.

The technical mission aims to prevent a nuclear accident.

However, uncertainty hangs over the planned inspectors’ visit.

IAEA chief, Rafael Grossi, told reporters from Zaporizhzhia city on Wednesday

"If we are able to establish a permanent presence, or a continued presence, then it’s going to be prolonged. But this first segment is going to take a few days.”
