Vienna, Austria - November 20, 2024 Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Rafael Grossi on Wednesday welcomed Iran's move towards capping its stockpile of highly enriched uranium. Grossi briefed a quarterly meeting of the IAEA Board of Governors earlier in the day about his visit to Iran last week. Grossi said although Iran's stockpile of uranium enriched up to 60 percent U-235 had grown since his last report on the country's nuclear program, Iran has agreed to not further expand its stockpile, and begun implementing the preparatory measures to cap the highly enriched uranium. He also expressed concern about the potential targeting of Iran's nuclear facilities by Israel. Regarding the Ukrainian crisis, Grossi said that the ongoing conflict continues to pose a threat to the safety of nuclear facilities. Currently, all six reactor units at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant are in a cold shutdown. Since the outbreak of the conflict, the IAEA has deployed 155 working groups and provided nuclear safety and security equipment worth 12 million euros, he added. On the issue of Japan's discharge of nuclear-contaminated water from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, Grossi said that the IAEA will continue to conduct monitoring with the participation of the international community.
