The Kremlin has resisted calls from Western nations to allow the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to inspect the plant, but Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed to open the facility up to international experts after a call last week with French President Emmanuel Macron.
"Almost every day there is a new incident at or near the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant. We can’t afford to lose any more time," IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi said in a statement on Thursday.
