Experts say any leak at Zaporizhzhia would more likely be on the scale of the 2011 Fukushima disaster in Japan.
Ukraine was the site of the world's worst nuclear catastrophe in 1986, when a reactor at the northern Chernobyl plant exploded and spewed radiation into the atmosphere. Advisor Lana Zerkal told Ukraine's Radio NV that Russia was "artificially creating all the conditions so that the mission will not reach the site", despite formally agreeing to the inspection. Last week the advisor to the Ukrainian energy minister said she was sceptical the team would even reach the plant. But Ukraine's foreign minister, Dmytro Kuleba, said in Stockholm: "This mission will be the hardest in the history of the IAEA, given the active combat activities undertaken by the Russian federation on the ground and also the very blatant way that Russia is trying to legitimise its presence". They must be allowed to "engage directly, and without interference, with the Ukrainian personnel responsible for operating these facilities", the G7 Non-Proliferation Directors Group said in a statement. The G7 industrial powers on Monday demanded access "without impediment" for the IAEA team. Ukraine initially feared an IAEA visit would legitimise the Russian occupation of the site before finally supporting the idea of a mission. The United Nations has called for an end to all military activity in the area surrounding the complex. In a photograph accompanying his tweet, Grossi posed with a team of 13 people wearing caps and sleeveless jackets bearing the IAEA logo. On Twitter the IAEA director general said the team from the UN nuclear watchdog would arrive at the power plant "later this week". On Monday Grossi said "the day has come" and that an IAEA support and assistance mission is "now on its way". Long-awaited visit - The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has for months been asking to visit the site, warning of "the very real risk of a nuclear disaster". "The occupiers, preparing for the arrival of the IAEA mission, increased pressure on the personnel of the plant to prevent them from disclosing evidence of the occupiers' crimes at the plant and its use as a military base," it added. Ten people were injured, including four plant workers, and as of 10:00 am (0700 GMT) the plant "operates with the risk of violating radiation and fire safety standards", Energoatom said on Telegram. Nevertheless, "during the last day, the Russian military continued to fire at Energodar and the site of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant", the agency said on Monday morning. Over the weekend, Ukrainian nuclear agency Energoatom, which operates the plant, warned of the risk of a radiation leak. Last week the plant was briefly cut off from the national grid for the first time in its four-decade history owing to Russian shelling of the last working power line, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said. Moscow and Kyiv are trading blame for shelling around the complex of six Soviet-designed nuclear reactors in the city of Energodar, in southern Ukraine. The Zaporizhzhia plant - Europe's largest atomic facility - has been occupied by Russian troops since the start of the war. International Atomic Energy Agency chief Rafael Grossi said on Monday he was en route to inspect Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, which has been targeted by fresh shelling over the past day, according to its operator. “It generates gobs of data that have to be rendered.” “You need a massive amount of compute power to render essentially a completely life-like scene,” he said. The more data-crunching computer power available to render the video, the more realistic and flexible the ultimate VR environment that is produced, said Jeff Hopper, head of marketing for the sports unit. But the 360 VR video system requires massive computing power to crunch all the video data from dozens of cameras and render a virtual, 3D environment. CEO Brian Krzanich has created teams to target specific industries, like the sports group, with packages of technology to address specific needs.Īt first glance, the sports technology doesn’t play to Intel’s traditional strength in semiconductors.

With the global PC market shrinking, Intel’s VR plans are part of a wider effort to find new markets and new applications for its computing chips. In this year’s Super Bowl, the system, called Intel 360, will also allow broadcasters to show viewers the action of a play through the point of view of a player on the field.
