        Nuclear fuel rods at fresh fuel storage facility inside Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant, Ukraine, September 4, 2024. The head of the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog said a cooling tower at Ukraine's Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant had been badly damaged in a fire last month and would probably have to be demolished.

Moscow and Kyiv have regularly accused each other of attacking the plant and risking a nuclear accident. Photo by IAEA via ABACAPRESS.COM
