“The safety and security of all nuclear power plants is of central and fundamental concern to the IAEA,” Grossi said.

According to him, he has been following the developments in the Kursk region, in particular, near the nuclear power plant. Grossi emphasized that the safety of nuclear facilities should not be jeopardized under any circumstances.

“It is vital when I arrive at the plant tomorrow that I see first-hand the situation and discuss modalities for further activities as may be needed to evaluate the nuclear safety and security conditions of the KNPP,” he added.
