I will travel to Tehran on Monday for meetings with Iranian authorities to address outstanding questions related to safeguards in Iran. I hope to establish a fruitful and cooperative channel of direct dialogue. It is necessary.

We have the possibility to create clean energy, night and day, sunny or rainy. Considering the urgency of #ClimateChange, we don’t have the luxury of excluding nuclear from the discussion.

Tomorrow I travel to Tehran to meet with senior Iranian officials to find a mutually agreeable solution, compatible with Iranian law, so that the @iaeaorg can continue essential verification activities in Iran. Looking forward to success – this is in everybody’s interest.

It's been 10 years since the accident at #Fukushima Daiichi. Here is my message where I take stock of what's been done to make nuclear energy safer. Nuclear safety is the key to nuclear power expansion & a stable-climate future. My full statement: bit.ly/3bztzEF

I welcome Japan's announcement on how it will dispose of the treated water stored at #Fukushima nuclear power plant. @iaeaorg will work w/ 🇯🇵 before, during & after the discharge of the water to help ensure this is carried out without an adverse impact on health & environment.1/2

Controlled water discharges into the sea are routinely used by operational nuclear power plants around the world and in the region under strict safety and environmental standards and regulations. 2/2

After Finland, #Sweden becomes 2nd country in the 🌍 to approve a deep geological repository for high-level nuclear waste.
This technically proven solution can be part of the #ClimateCrisis solution. @iaeaorg to work with Sweden in this important endeavor. bit.ly/3o5uPoI

#Ethiopia is at the heart of African diplomacy, & we're launching Rays of Hope in Addis Ababa on #WorldCancerDay. Thank you 🇪🇹 Minister @DemekeHasen for your hospitality & enthusiastic support to #CancerCare4All—@iaeaorg will help Ethiopia tackle cancer & other dev. challenges.

I'm deeply concerned with situation at #Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. Spoke with #Ukraine PM Denys Shmygal; @iaeaorg's monitoring and in close contact with #Ukraine's nuclear regulator and operator. I appeal to parties to refrain from actions that can put NPPs in danger.

Told @UN SC I’m extremely concerned about events at #Ukraine #Zaporizhzhia NPP. They proved that armed conflict in the area of a NPP puts at risk the fundamental principle that the physical integrity of nuclear facilities must be maintained & they should be kept safe at all time.

Today I signed a statement with Vice-President and President of the Atomic Energy Organization of #Iran 🇮🇷, Mohammad Eslami. A lot of work ahead of us.

I personally thanked South Ukraine Nuclear Power Plant staff for their endurance and resilience during these extremely difficult times. Staff of all #Ukraine nuclear facilities deserve full respect and admiration for keeping sites running in a safe and secure way amid conflict.

I will head an @iaeaorg assistance and support mission to the #Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant as soon as possible. It will be the first in a series of such nuclear safety and security missions to #Ukraine.
