Inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to prevent a nuclear disaster at the Zaporiza nuclear power plant in Ukraine arrived at the site on the 1st local time and started a three-day mission.
According to AFP, Reuters and TAS, IAEA Secretary-General Rafael Grossi said, "We have gathered a lot of important information over the course of several hours," and "I have confirmed the necessary things."
"The mission of the inspectors is to protect nuclear power plants from nuclear accidents," said Grossi, secretary-general.
He also emphasized that "we will push for a plan for inspectors to stay at the nuclear power plant."
"The IAEA will stay here, let the world know that the IAEA will stay in Zaporiza," Grossi said in a video released by Russian state-run Ria Novosti news agency, but did not mention how many people and how long they would stay there.
Ukrainian state-owned nuclear power company Energoatom said the inspection will be held for three days until the 3rd of this month.
In addition, Secretary-General Grosi added that he will withdraw first, and 5 out of 14 people will remain at the site to complete the temple.
However, Interfax News reported that 8 to 12 people would stay at the scene, citing a local administration official from the Russian side.
The Rosatom delegation claimed that the unexploded ordnance dropped only tens to hundreds of meters from the spent fuel storage facility and the nuclear reactor was a Uragan rocket from Ukraine.
"Unless Ukraine stops bombardment, Ukraine, Russia and Europe will all be in grave danger," they said.
Energoatom said, "It is already a success for the inspectors to finally reach the site."
