UN concerned by ‘discrepancy’ in Ukraine nuclear plant water levels after dam collapse

IAEA head Rafael Grossi, who will visit Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, says there is a difference of about 2 metres from the reservoir that cools the plant

The UN atomic watchdog has said it needs wider access around the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant to check a significant discrepancy" in water level data at the breached Kakhovka dam used for cooling the plant's reactors.

International Atomic Energy Agency head Rafael Grossi, who is to visit the plant this week, said that measurements the agency received from the inlet of the plant showed that the dam's water levels were stable for about a day over the weekend.
