UNITED NATIONS, UNITED STATES - The head of the UN nuclear watchdog told the Security Council on Thursday that the agency must be allowed to inspect Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, saying that"This is a serious hour, a grave hour and the IAEA must be allowed to conduct its mission to Zaporizhzhia as soon as possible," Rafael Grossi told an emergency meeting of the Security Council via video feed.in late February.
And Washington on Thursday said it supports calls by the UN and others to establish a demilitarised zone around the plant. "This visit cannot wait any longer," she told the Council, adding that the only way to ensure nuclear safety would be for Moscow to end its war.
