The head of the UN’s International Atomic Energy Agency, IAEA, Rafael Grossi, is traveling to Ukraine to review safety at the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant following last week’s dam collapse.

“En route to Ukraine to meet President Zelensky and present an aid program in the aftermath of the catastrophic flood,” writes Grossi on Twitter.

The IAEA is to strengthen its expert team that oversees safety at the nuclear power plant, he adds.
