VIENNA: The UN's nuclear watchdog said on Tuesday that it saw"no immediate nuclear safety risk" but was exploring options to get water to keep cooling Europe's biggest atomic plant after a dam in southern Ukraine was damaged.and offered conflicting versions on the safety situation at the Russian-occupied plant, some 150km away.
Damage to the dam was leading to a reduction in the height of the reservoir of about 5cm per hour, IAEA head Rafael Grossi said in a statement to his agency's 35-member board of governors. Besides that, IAEA is looking to confirm whether a large cooling pond next to the site would be able to provide water for cooling"for some months", he said, adding that this pond"by design is kept above the height of the reservoir"."It is therefore vital that this cooling pond remains intact. Nothing must be done to potentially undermine its integrity.
