10:27 activelow; which is, according to this Kremlin-affiliated source, Ukrainians terminted their contracts with Rosatom, and contracted with Westinghouse Electric to use western nuclear rods instead of russian ones

10:28 activelow; yesterday, IAEO chief announced he would personally inspect the modifications made to the nuclear plant, to fit into westinghouse nuclear rods

10:30 activelow; furthermore, Russians reported they seized control over the nuclear plant Feb.28th already, and it was some nearby educational center nearby hit by some explosive, not the power plant itself

10:32 activelow; didn't hear any Western/NATO/EU angels of peace yet to support an IAEO investigation in Ukraine, if and how Westinghouse Electric supplied Ukraine with rods, and which modifications were made to the power plants
