The Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Rafael Mariano Grossi, has called for increased nuclear security efforts in the wake of the war in Ukraine. Grossi said that the war has highlighted the importance of nuclear security and the need to strengthen measures to protect nuclear materials and facilities.
“The war in Ukraine has shown us the very real dangers of nuclear security,” Grossi said in a statement. “We must do everything we can to prevent nuclear materials from falling into the wrong hands.”
Grossi cited a number of specific threats to nuclear security, including the threat of cyber attacks, smuggling, and terrorism. He also called for increased international cooperation to address these threats.
“We need to work together to strengthen nuclear security,” Grossi said. “This is a global challenge that requires a global response.”
The IAEA is the world’s leading nuclear security organization. It works to promote the safe and secure use of nuclear energy and to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons.
The IAEA has been working with Ukraine since the start of the war to ensure the safety and security of its nuclear facilities. The agency has also been providing technical assistance to other countries to improve their nuclear security measures.
Grossi’s call for increased nuclear security efforts comes at a critical time. The war in Ukraine has raised the stakes for nuclear security and has highlighted the need for countries to work together to address this important issue.
