IAEA mentions agreement reached in principle to visit Zaporozhie

OIEA-director-Rafael-Grossi
Paris, Aug 25 (Prensa Latina) The director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Rafael Grossi, said today there is an agreement in principle to visit the Ukrainian nuclear power plant in Zaporozhie, but acknowledged that issues remain to be specified.

Work on the detail needs a political minimum is important to get into the technical part, he told France 24 channel in this capital, where he met with President Emmanuel Macron and Chancellor Catherine Colonna, in a context of growing international concern about what happens in the plant, the largest in Europe.

According to the Argentine diplomat, the risk at the facility is real, as it is part of the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, a country whose troops control the nuclear power plant, in recent days.

Grossi lamented the bombings that have taken place in recent days around the facility, described them as unacceptable and considered the scenario contradictory, due to the mutual accusations between Moscow and Kiev about responsibility for the attacks.

We see a contradictory narrative, due to mutual accusations, hence the importance of the visit of the IAEA inspectors, said the expert on disarmament and nuclear non-proliferation issues.

The director general of the organization stressed that they already have working hypotheses for the visit, but insisted on the need for everything to be well coordinated with the parties given the complexity of the mission and the military actions on the ground.

The way to stabilize the situation is with the international presence, that of our inspectors, explained Grossi.
