IAEA Head Worries World Getting Complacent About Ukraine's Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Plant

IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi speaks with journalists after he and an IAEA mission came back from the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power on September 1, 2022.

The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) says he worries that the world is becoming complacent about the considerable dangers posed by the Russian-controlled Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant in Ukraine. Russian forces captured the plant in March, and it has repeatedly come under fire. Speaking in Kyiv on January 19, IAEA Director-General Rafael Grossi said "people may believe that nothing has happened so far, so is the director-general of the IAEA crying wolf?" He added that an accident "can happen any time" and it is his duty is to do everything to prevent that. To read the original story from Reuters, click here.
