The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) will investigate alleged activities at two Ukrainian nuclear sites.
The agency’s director, Rafael Grossi, confirmed this in a statement on Tuesday, October 25th.
Grossi stated that the IAEA had received a written request from Ukraine to send teams of inspectors to two unnamed locations to conduct verification activities.
Both sites were under IAEA safeguards and were regularly visited by IAEA inspectors, he said.
“The IAEA inspected one of these sites about a month ago, and all of our findings were consistent with Ukraine’s safeguards declarations,” Grossi said.
“There were no undeclared nuclear activities or material discovered there.”
The IAEA planned to visit the sites in the coming days to investigate any possible undeclared nuclear activities or materials.
