VIENNA, 08 March 2022, (TON): IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi called to prevent a nuclear incident in Ukraine.
“I repeat my call and let it be heard loud and clear we must prevent a nuclear incident in Ukraine.
Grossi said “let’s not hide behind all or nothing at all decisions.”
He emphasized “we see what is happening on the ground in Ukr-aine. This time, if a nuclear accident occurs, it will not be a tsunami caused by mother nature. It will be the result of human failure to act when we knew we could and knew we should.”
Grossi expressed concern about the situation at the Zaporozhye NPP.
The head of the IAEA said “Russian forces now control the management of the plant and the approval of technical decisions made by Ukrainian operators. This is an unsafe way to operate a nuclear power plant.”
The IAEA will host an international conference on nuclear law April 25-29, said IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi, speaking before the IAEA Board of Governors.
