Iaea Says Russian Forces Occupy Nuclear Site In Ukraine

Russian military forces have overall control of Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, the largest in Europe, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency. "For the time being it is purely Ukrainian staff running the operations there," IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi said at a briefing in Vienna, Friday. A fire broke out at the plant in southeastern Ukraine early Friday after Russian forces shelled the facility. "It's important to say that all the safety systems of the six reactors at the plant were not affected at all and that there has been no release of radioactive material no release of radioactivity," Grossi added.
