IAEA inspectors to visit two nuclear sites in Ukraine

International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors will visit two nuclear locations in Ukraine in the coming days, IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi stated.

The planned visit follows a request from Ukraine in an apparent reaction to Russian claims that Ukraine could deploy a so-called dirty bomb.

Director General Grossi confirmed that both locations are under IAEA safeguards and have been visited regularly by IAEA inspectors. “The IAEA inspected one of these locations one month ago, and all our findings were consistent with Ukraine’s safeguards declarations,” Grossi said.
