Rafael Mariano Grossi, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, is expected to travel to Kyiv and Moscow next week, according to a press statement by the IAEA released Saturday, APA reports citing CNN.
The visit is part of ongoing efforts around "implementing a nuclear safety and security zone around the ZNPP (Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant) as soon as possible," according to the statement.
Grossi also addressed the detention of the director general of Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, Ihor Murashov, which the president of state nuclear company Energoatom said occurred earlier Saturday.
“Such a detention of any member of the plant staff would be a source of grave concern in itself, but also for its psychological impact and pressure on the rest of the staff - which is detrimental to nuclear safety and security," Grossi said.
