"After the explosion at the Kakhovka Dam in Ukraine last month, many Ukrainians
feared the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant could be next.

These concerns have been heightened in recent weeks as both Ukraine and Russia
have accused each other of planning an attack of the plant, which has been
under Russian control since March 2022.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has not found any evidence of
explosives in recent inspections, but also said it had yet to be granted access
to all parts of the huge plant.

So, how serious are the risks of an attack at the power plant? And how
disastrous would this be for Ukraine and the wider world?"
