IAEA chief Rafael Grossi to discuss Zaporizhzhya NPP in Russia visit

Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), revealed plans to visit Russia in May, including the enclave of Kaliningrad, to discuss technical matters concerning the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant (ZNPP).

In an interview with Russian media, Grossi stated, "Perhaps it will be closer to the end of the month. And then, hopefully, I will be able to hold another round of technical talks." He indicated the possibility of visiting Kaliningrad during the trip, intending to address nuclear power plant safety issues with Russian officials.

Grossi emphasized that the discussions would focus on technical aspects, with Rosatom's Director General, Alexei Likhachev, likely representing Russia. While he didn't anticipate meetings with the country's leadership during this visit, he didn't rule out the possibility of such engagements in the future.
