IAEA allays fears over nuclear safety after fire

The United Nations' nuclear watchdog said on Sunday that a fire near the Russian-controlled Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant had "no impact" on the facility's safety.

"No impact has been reported for nuclear safety," the International Atomic Energy Agency said in a statement. Both Kyiv and Moscow said there had been no rise in radiation levels.

In a later statement, the IAEA said it had requested that its team get "immediate access to the cooling tower to assess the damage".
