International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Grossi has begun the inspection of the Kursk nuclear power plant (NPP), APA reports citing TASS.
Earlier, Grossi said that the risk of any damage to the nuclear facility due to actions by Ukrainian troops was great. He informed of his plans to visit the power plant in order to talk to its leadership and determine whether any attacks had been carried out against it. The IAEA said that military actions near the NPP represent a serious risk to its nuclear and physical safety and security. A visit to the Kursk NPP will be a timely opportunity for an independent assessment of the situation.
Grossi is inspecting both the Kursk nuclear facility and the Kursk NPP-2 plant currently under construction. Later, he is going to visit social facilities in the town of Kurchatov.
