KYIV, Ukraine—United Nations inspectors left Kyiv for the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear-power plant early Wednesday,at the southern Ukrainian facility amid fears that fighting in the area could lead to a nuclear disaster.
The plant has suffered heavy shelling in recent weeks that has damaged its laboratory and chemical facilities, and nearby fires temporarily disconnected it from the country’s power grid. Kyiv and Moscow have blamed each other for the strikes,about a plant that Russia has largely closed off from the world since its capture.

Mr. Grossi said the IAEA team would be at the Zaporizhzhia plant for a few days, and that the length of the visit would be decided by the IAEA. He didn’t say when the inspection would begin.
Bad idea!
Hope they’re wearing flack jackets.
Under what authority asked Russia?
