He also stressed that no nuclear power plant should become a target of military action, especially amid ongoing international tensions.

“With 98 Contracting Parties, the Convention is the cornerstone of the global nuclear safety regime. Through peer review and cooperation, it helps ensure that nuclear energy is used safely and responsibly,” Grossi wrote.

“The IAEA will continue working with all countries to keep nuclear safety strong and focused on what matters most,” he added.
