The day before, Rafael Grossi met with the director of Rosatom, Alexei Likhachev, in Moscow.
IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi said negotiations on the creation of a protective zone around the Ukrainian Zaporozhye nuclear power plant occupied by Russian troops are progressing. This was reported by the press service of the agency.
As you know, Grossi met with the director of Rosatom, Alexei Likhachev, in Moscow the other day.
“Diplomatic efforts to create a nuclear safety and security zone around the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) in Ukraine are progressing with the aim of agreeing and implementing an urgently needed measure in the near future,” the IAEA said Director General.
He noted that yesterday’s multi-hour meeting in Moscow became “another round of necessary discussions on the creation of a protective zone for the Zaporizhzhya NPP.”
“The key is that the zone is dedicated only to preventing a nuclear accident. I continue my efforts to achieve this goal with great urgency,” Grossi said.
According to him, this “plan” will help prevent a nuclear accident by stopping the shelling from the area around Europe’s largest station.
“The ZNPP is on the active front line in the middle of a full-scale war, so the situation remains extremely unstable and potentially dangerous,” added the IAEA Director General.
It was noted that consultations on the safety of ZNPP with both parties will continue in the near future.
Recall that IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi is in Moscow to discuss the creation of a protective zone around the temporarily occupied Zaporozhye NPP.
It was previously reported that the IAEA could make a decision on the safety of the ZNPP by the end of the year.
