The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) hopes that the rotation of experts at the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant (NPP) will take place in the coming days. Director General of the organization Rafael Grossi told Izvestia. He noted that consultations with the Russian Federation and Ukraine are now underway.

"Now we are working on the next rotation of our experts. As you know, the previous one was interrupted due to increased military activity. So we hope that we can do it as soon as possible. We are consulting with Moscow, trying to get the necessary security guarantees so that our teams are protected. At the same time, we're having similar negotiations with Ukraine to make sure that it fulfills its obligations and protects the international inspectors. So, I hope we will be able to finalize this work in the next few days," Grossi said.

Recall that the planned rotation of IAEA experts at Zaporizhzhya NPP was supposed to take place as early as February 5, but was postponed to February 12. On that day it was also not held because of provocative actions of Ukraine, which refused to let the experts of the IAEA secretariat through, the Russian Foreign Ministry said.
