Rafael Grossi Says No Nuclear Weapon Tests Detected


(MENAFN) Rafael Grossi, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), stated on Friday that there is no proof that any nation has conducted nuclear weapon tests.

During a press briefing in Kaliningrad, Grossi affirmed that the worldwide surveillance system, established to identify such tests, has not detected any incidents of this nature.

"There is an organization in Vienna that monitors the conduct of nuclear weapons tests. And according to this monitoring system, which is currently in operation, there have been no events indicating that such tests have been conducted," he remarked when asked directly about tests by any country, including the US.

Grossi visited Kaliningrad to meet with Alexey Likhachev, director of the Russian nuclear company Rosatom, to deliberate on matters related to the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant.
