IAEA ‘staying at Zaporizhzhia’ nuclear plant, says UN agency’s chief

MOSCOW — The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency says that the UN agency will be “staying” at the Moscow-controlled Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant in southern Ukraine that has been frequently shelled.

“The IAEA is staying here. Let the world know that the IAEA is staying at Zaporizhzhia,” Rafael Grossi, who is leading an inspection of the plant, says in a video released by the Russian RIA Novosti news agency. He doesn’t specify how many people will be staying and for how long.
