INTERNATIONAL ATOMIC ENERGY AGENCY DIRECTOR SAYS HE’S HEADING TO MOSCOW FOR
TALKS ON NUCLEAR SAFETY IN UKRAINE

World Mar 4, 2024 3:58 PM EST

VIENNA (AP) — The U.N. atomic watchdog agency’s director said that he’s due to
depart for a trip to Moscow on Tuesday for high-level talks with Russian
officials to discuss the issue of nuclear safety in Ukraine.

International Atomic Energy Agency Director-General Rafael Mariano Grossi made
the announcement on Monday, the first day of a regular meeting of the agency’s
35-nation board of governors in Vienna. There was no immediate confirmation of
the trip from the Kremlin.

“The situation continues to be very fragile,” Grossi told reporters, referring
to the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant located in southeastern Ukraine.

The safety of the nuclear plant, which is Europe’s largest, is “of tremendous
importance in terms of international peace and security,” he said.

Grossi said that it was “the intention” that he will meet personally with
Russian President Vladimir Putin during his upcoming trip, but added that he
would expect Moscow as the host of the talks to officially confirm it.

Grossi last met with Putin in October 2022.

Grossi visited Ukraine in February, and crossed the front line to visit the
Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant in person as part of the IAEA’s efforts to
prevent a nuclear disaster amid an ongoing war. He also held a meeting with
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

He told reporters in Vienna that he considered it important to maintain a
dialogue with both sides.

Grossi said that he expected to discuss “technical issues” related to “the
future operational status of the plant” in Moscow. He also said that if the
six-unit Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, which is currently in cold shutdown,
is to be restarted, he would need to discuss “what kind of safety evaluation”
will be made. He also said that he needs to speak about the issue of the
external power supply lines, since what the IAEA currently sees is “fragile and
thin.”

The IAEA has repeatedly expressed alarm about the Zaporizhzhia facility amid
fears of a potential nuclear catastrophe. The plant has repeatedly been caught
in the crossfire since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine on
Feb. 24, 2022, and seized the facility shortly after.

The plant’s six reactors have been shut down for months, but it still needs
power and qualified staff to operate crucial cooling systems and other safety
features.

The plant suffered eight losses of off-site power since the start of the war,
forcing it to temporarily rely on emergency diesel generators, while continuing
to face challenges related to staffing.
