) regime, would think about what this is fraught with and how it will end,” TASS quotes him.
At the same time, according to Rogov, in the event of this appeal, the Ukrainian authorities would “become hysterical” and there would be statements that the general director of the agency, Rafael Grossi, was “bribed”.
He added that Kyiv orders the army to shell the station, because he is sure of his impunity and "the inevitability of punishment" is the only thing that can stop him.
Such an appeal by the IAEA would increase the level of confidence in the agency, Rogov believes.
On November 26, IAEA Deputy Head, Head of the Department of Nuclear Energy Mikhail Chudakov said on the sidelines of the Atomexpo forum in Sochi that an artillery shell hitting the spent fuel containment at the Zaporozhye NPP could lead to the effect of a “dirty bomb”.
In addition, the authorities of Energodar called fake reports of Russia's plans to leave the Zaporozhye NPP.
The station remains under Russian control, the administration said.
