IAEA shares Russia’s concerns about threats of attacks on Kursk NPP - Likhachev

YEREVAN, AUGUST 27, ARMENPRESS. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) shares Russia’s concerns about threats to the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant and the future of the entire nuclear sector, CEO of Russia’s state nuclear corporation Alexey Likhachev said, according to Tass.

According to Likhachev, the agency has done much to recognize nuclear energy as green and enhance the sector’s authority.

"And I think that the IAEA has finally shared our worries, our acute concern that an attack on the Kursk NPP may mean a blow on the planet’s entire nuclear industry and would do irreparable damage to the development of nuclear power generation in the world," Tass quoted Likhachev as saying after an IAEA delegation’s visit to the Kursk NPP.
