Mr Grossi was scheduled to hold a press conference on his return to Vienna on Thursday evening.
“In meetings there, I hope to make progress on the urgent issue of ensuring the safety and security of Ukraine’s nuclear facilities. We need to act now,” Mr Grossi said in a statement.
WANO said in a statement there can be no interference of any kind with Ukrainian member operators’ ability to safely perform their work.
The group’s performance objectives and criteria and safety principles provide high standards to guide nuclear plant operators worldwide on safe nuclear facility operation. “WANO is concerned about factors in the current situation that may challenge these high standards of operation,” it said.
