U.N. monitors head to Ukrainian nuclear plant caught in storm of shelling

LA Times  

A team of IAEA experts and inspectors leaves Kyiv, Ukraine, on an urgent mission to safeguard the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. A team of U.N. inspectors made its way toward Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant Wednesday on a perilous, long-sought mission to safeguard the site and prevent a catastrophe from the fighting raging around it. “It’s a mission that seeks to prevent a nuclear accident and to preserve this important — the largest, the biggest — nuclear power plant in Europe,” he said. “We cannot play war games in the neighborhood of a site like this.” While the inspectors were on their way, Russia-backed local authorities accused Ukrainian forces of repeatedly shelling the plant grounds and city where it is, Enerhodar.
