“For our part, we are absolutely ready to allow IAEA experts to enter the facility.
There is a very complex system for ensuring the operation of the station - we, Ukraine, the IAEA, ”he said in an interview with TASS.
Balitsky emphasized that the authorities of the region cannot take external control of the nuclear power plant just because they are "regulated by a superstructure that is recognized by Russia and other countries."
“This is me about the IAEA.
If only this norm did not exist, I would take the Zaporizhzhya NPP into state ownership,” he added.
IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi said on June 6 that the organization is working to create conditions for sending a mission of experts to the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, which is under the control of Russian forces.
He noted that he intends to personally lead a mission to the ZNPP to carry out the necessary work on physical nuclear security.
The Ukrainian operator Energoatom opposed Grossi's visit to the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant.
