IAEA Chief Says No Evidence of Nuclear Weapons Testing Detected


(MENAFN) International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Grossi declared Friday that global surveillance systems have detected no evidence of nuclear weapons testing by any nation worldwide.

During a press briefing held in Kaliningrad, Grossi affirmed that sophisticated international monitoring networks remain free of any signals suggesting such detonations have occurred.

"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," Grossi stated when directly questioned about potential testing activities by any state, including the US.

The IAEA chief's visit to Kaliningrad centered on discussions with Alexey Likhachev, director of Russian state nuclear corporation Rosatom, focusing specifically on ongoing concerns at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant.
