On the safety of the Zaporizhzhia NPP (ZNPP) “there is a concrete proposal and important progress has been made”, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi said on 2 December in an interview with Italy’s La Repubblica. He added: “The two sides now agree on some fundamental principles. The first is that of protection: it means accepting that you do not shoot on the facility and from the facility. The second is the recognition that the IAEA represents the only possible way forward: it was the heart of my meeting with President Putin in St Petersburg on 11 October.”
