On April 27, the Chornobyl NPP was visited by the IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi.
Mr. Grossi was accompanied by the Minister of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources of Ukraine Roman Abramovskyi, Chairman of the State Nuclear Regulatory Inspectorate of Ukraine Hryhorii Plachkov, and managers of the State Agency of Ukraine on Exclusion Zone Management.
Having speech at the foot of the New Safe Confinement (NSC) Mr Grossi stated: “Behind us is a piece of history; history of Ukraine and, of course, to a big extent, of all humanity. But also it is a sign of how a big challenge, like this [the accident at ChNPP and its consequences – ed.], can be tackled and can be dealt in an appropriate way.”
