Mario Grossi

Mario Grossi is the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), known for his efforts to oversee nuclear safety and security amidst ongoing geopolitical tensions. Recently, he has faced criticism for allowing IAEA inspectors access to the Zaporiyia nuclear power plant through Russian territory, a decision that Ukraine claims violates its sovereignty and the established agreement meant to ensure the safety of the plant. Grossi has defended his actions, citing the safety of IAEA personnel as the primary concern.
