Experts from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) will inspect Russia’s Volgodonsky nuclear power station in October to determine its safety levels, the ITAR-TASS news agency reported.

During a three-week visit, “the station will be inspected in nine areas, including exploitation quality and that of repairs, personnel efficiency, and readiness in case of incident,” the agency quoted the station’s press service as saying late Tuesday.

The IAEA experts have already inspected similar sites in France, Germany, Japan and India.
