Evacuations and Retreats: Tensions Rise in Ukraine War

The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has expressed concern about the safety of Europe's largest nuclear plant, Zaporizhzhia, as Russian occupation forces evacuate civilians from the nearby Ukrainian town of Enerhodar. The IAEA has previously warned about safety at the plant after shelling caused some damage to installations and temporary power outages. All six reactors at the plant are in shutdown mode, and nuclear staff are staying on-site. The IAEA has called for action to prevent the threat of a severe nuclear accident.
