A radioactive container stolen several days ago from the Mexican city of Cardenas was found abandoned under a bridge on Wednesday.
The theft of dangerous radioactive material from a southern Iraqi city has raised security concerns worldwide, with officials fearing it could be used as a weapon by the Islamic State.
IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi says 'security systems of the six reactors at the plant were not affected' and that 'there has been no release of radioactive material' after Russian troops attacked Europe's largest nuclear power plant (the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant), setting part of the Ukrainian facility ablaze in an assault the country's leader branded "nuclear terror" and said could endanger the continent.
