International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) director-general Rafael Grossi has warned about the ongoing risk of a nuclear accident in Ukraine, saying the dangers to nuclear safety “continue to be very real and ever-present”.
The presence of IAEA officials at nuclear facilities in Ukraine remains essential to help prevent a nuclear incident, Grossi said on 3 June after his 12th visit to Kyiv since the start of Russia’s invasion in February 2022.
The IAEA said air raid sirens forced one Grossi’s meetings to be held in an underground shelter.
