Grossi: Everyone has to adhere to NPT

According to RCO News Agency, Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, spoke about developments in the nuclear energy industry and its benefits for the world.

In one of the panels of the meeting, he responded to a question about why the agency is formed and tasks: “The reason for the formation of the Nuclear Technology Supervision Agency is. You see, the only countries that have left the agency and no longer have the agency’s supervision are countries that in practice have violated the NPT agreement. But the law is that if you have nuclear facilities, it must always be under the supervision of the Agency, and you see that there will be a lot of discussion and discourse whenever there is doubt about the national nuclear program. “

“For example, you can think of Iran,” Grossi said, using Iran’s nuclear issue to express his point. We are actively working on it. But you are seeing the issue of the possibility of weapons use of nuclear facilities. “As a result, it doesn’t matter which country you are, if you want to have a nuclear reactor, you have to join the NPT and accept the agency’s supervision.”

He also pointed to the discourse formed in the world to create nuclear deterrence: “In the current situation that the discourse on nuclear deterrence and nuclear weapons has intensified, I need to emphasize that all countries must adhere to the NPT. “The expansion of nuclear weapons will not help the world.”

Recently, European countries have called for Russia’s alleged “threats” to create nuclear deterrence through nuclear weapons.
