“Moreover, one day is not enough time to make any kind of meaningful inspection”
From the article:
“so experts can assess the damage and evaluate working conditions of the Ukrainian staff continuing to keep the facility operational”
If that takes more than 3 hours, they are, each and every one of them...stupid.
It’s a media/political exercise.
THE ONLY RELEVANT QUESTIONS ARE WHO IS LOBBING ARTILLERY ONTO THE GROUNDS AND IS RUSSIA USING IT AS A FIRE BASE? DOES IT STORE MUNITIONS? And it is leaking radioactive anywhere? (they already know it is not).
If I was the Russian decider, I would tell them to get lost.

You are profoundly mistaken. The complex is HUGE. Moreover, sensitive instruments must be set up to conduct tests. It would take a day just to set up that equipment at appropriate locations.

This is the IAEA (Internal Atomic Energy Agency), everyone on that team likely has a PhD in physics and probably has significant post-doc work in Nuclear Physics.
You can always pick out the freepers who have not even opened a science book or journal since they graduated from middle school 40 years ago, because.. 'math makes head go durr.'
Three hours is nowhere near enough to inspect all areas, interview staff without interference, and follow up on any kit or area they have a concern on!
Have you ever been inside a nuclear power plant? Even on a guided tour?
I went on one, to Dungeness B, in England, in the 80s.
It took a full four hours. And the complex at Enerhodar is many times larger.
And that tour didn’t allow time to interview the staff, check the kit, flag any observations, record any safety concerns...
And it was tightly monitored to stop the group from wandering into areas they didn’t want us to see.
Of course it’s a Russian stitch up. A proper inspection should last 3 days, minimum.
