0:41Now PlayingMonitors from the United Nations atomic watchdog said Rosatom Corp. is elevating the risk of a radiological emergency by continuing to operate a nuclear power plant on Russian soil that’s near territory seized by Ukraine this month. #russia #ukraine #politics #worldnews #putin #zelensky
“The fact that the plant is operating makes it even more serious,” International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi said on Tuesday in comments broadcast by Russian state television.
The IAEA monitoring mission led by Grossi visited the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant to assess the risk of a nuclear accident. Unlike Ukraine’s Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, where all six reactors have been shut down, Kursk continues generating electricity.
The agency warned of particularly “serious consequences” if the fueled core of a so-called RBMK reactor were hit while in operation. Impacts from attack drones were observed on site, according to Grossi, who didn’t specify which side fired them.
