IAEA to send inspectors to Ukraine after Russian 'dirty bomb' accusations

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported Monday that an inspector mission will be sent to two nuclear facilities in Ukraine at the request of the kyiv authorities.

The dispatch of the inspectors is related to Russian accusations that Ukraine could use a "dirty bomb", something denied by kyiv.

The UN nuclear agency also has no indication of diversion of nuclear material or undeclared Ukrainian activities.

"The IAEA is prepared to visit these places in the coming days," said a statement from the UN nuclear agency.

"The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is aware of the statements made by the Russian Federation on Sunday about alleged activities at two nuclear facilities in Ukraine," says the UN agency in charge of ensuring nuclear safety.

The director general of the agency, the Argentine diplomat Rafael Grossi, reaffirmed that these two facilities are "under the safeguards (controls) of the IAEA", and international inspectors have frequently visited their facilities.

The IAEA received a request from Ukraine on Monday for inspectors to travel to these two facilities to carry out verification tasks, in what appears to be a show of transparency from kyiv in the face of Russia's accusations.
