IAEA inspection team arrives in Kiev - report

A 14-member team from the International Atomic Energy Agency led by its Director General Rafael Grossi has arrived in Kiev, CNN reported on Tuesday.

The delegation was seen by CNN reporters in a Kiev hotel. No information is yet available on when the mission will arrive at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant.

Grossi said earlier that the IAEA mission to the Zaporozhye plant had been formed and would arrive there later this week. The inspectors would assess the physical damage to the plant and check the facility’s security and safety systems. The experts led by Grossi will also have to evaluate staff conditions at the plant and take urgent measures to ensure safety there.
