The IAEA mission has reached the Vasilyevka checkpoint in Russian-controlled territory, around 60km from the Zaporozhye NPP

The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant was forced to deploy emergency backup responses after shelling struck the facility on Thursday, Ukraine’s nuclear power company said, just as UN nuclear experts set off toward the plant.
Most of the UN inspectors assessing a nuclear power plant in southern Ukraine departed just hours after arriving on Thursday. Five experts stayed behind to monitor the plant, where shelling in the war has raised the risk of a nuclear incident.
IAEA chief says the "physical integrity" of a Russian-held Ukrainian nuclear plant has been "violated" following frequent shelling, on his team's first visit to the facility
Day 1 of IAEA visit to Zaporihzhzia NPP:
-IAEA head Rafael Grossi reported extensive damage to the facility.
-Ukraine accused Russia of instructing locals to blame Ukraine for shelling.
-Russia refused to allow int'l journalists in, calling them "spies."
"Since the HIMARS have been starting to work, they (Russia) have a shortage of munitions, and it’s halted their offensive."
A former deputy minister of defense in Ukraine told @joshuakeating why she has high hopes for a new counteroffensive.
Russian official explaining to IAEA inspectors at Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant that a rocket did a complete 180º turn before impact, which is the reason why it appears to have been fired from Russian-occupied territory...
The Ukrainian nuclear power company on Friday accused the Russians of preventing the International Atomic Energy Agency from getting to know “the facts on the ground” and of presenting a “staged show.”
Yea it will help you not get thyroid cancer. But won't do a danm thing to stop lung, heart, liver, anything else radiation caused cancer in or on the body.
If you are using them for fear control then you already lost. Fear is a good thing especially in times of say a major disaster.Yeah, its so effective that most will hear at least a half dozen jokes about iodine before getting through the badge office at a DOE site.
I have pills for my children. I have more which is ostensibly KI in powdered form for two reasons: (1) to keep hope alive in my wife in the immediate aftermath of an event. I could care less whether its corn meal, I need it to help manage panic while determining what, if any, course of action there is for the kids (in the highly unlikely event there were any). Nor can I have her wondering whether we should jump into a line to get our locally distributed iodine rations if the signals say leave asap. (2) to potentially trade with a fool.
So please don't give people the pill and tell them it will protect them from radiation. Be honest.If you are using them for fear control then you already lost. Fear is a good thing especially in times of say a major disaster.
Fear is what drives our self preservation. Fear is what keep you alive. Without fear one becomes complacent which will lead to slip ups or lead to fatal mistakes due to a sense of false security.
There are generators to keep the plant cooled. Please do not jump to conclusions or panic.

The DWS staff is monitoring the situation and will alert the public to any danger that arises.
Thank goodness they haven't done this.Tankers steal the gas for the Generators so their tanks can keep running.
I mean they are already dumb enough to shell a active NPP. So not to far off to take the diesel to use for their trucks, tanks, and armored vehicles.who's stupid enough to steal diesel from a nuclear power plant's backup generators?
Fighting near the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant in Ukraine showed no signs of slowing, despite the presence of U.N. inspectors who arrived to examine the safety of the plant.
