According to Likhachev, when political activity and flag colors turn out to be the main arguments when choosing suppliers, this will be the beginning of the path to a future accident.
Earlier, the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Rafael Grossi, called for not dividing nuclear fuel suppliers into “good and bad.”
In early March, the head of the IAEA met with Russian President Vladimir Putin. As the Russian leader’s press secretary Dmitry Peskov later noted, the meeting was constructive.
