Experts want to conduct a field survey at the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant and find out the real state of what is happening around the plant. IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi said: “We know, perhaps indirectly, that the power plant was the target of the attack. Power supply problems are still ongoing.” The purpose of AEA inspections is to stabilize the situation, restore communication systems and ensure the continued presence of AEA personnel at the nuclear power plant.
