Ukraine's nuclear power plants are all due for inspections by international monitors, says the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), as worries grow about accidents amid Russian air strikes targeting Ukraine's energy infrastructure. IAEA Director Rafael Grossi said his agency's staff will visit facilities in Khmelnytskiy and Rivne, as well as at the abandoned Chernobyl plant. Fears about nuclear safety have been on the rise after recent Russian assaults targeted the power lines and generators needed to fuel spent power rods and to keep the power plants connected to the power grid, which is necessary to keep safety systems operational.
