On the 20th, the Director-General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Grossi, stated that if the Bushehr nuclear power plant in Iran is attacked, it could trigger the 'most serious' consequences since the attacks on nuclear facilities within Iran. According to a statement released by the International Atomic Energy Agency on the 20th, Grossi said during a video speech at an emergency public meeting of the United Nations Security Council on the Middle East situation that the Bushehr nuclear power plant is an operating nuclear power plant with several thousand kilograms of nuclear material. In the past few hours, several countries in the Middle East have directly expressed their concerns to him regarding the potential attack on the Bushehr nuclear power plant. Grossi pointed out that if the Bushehr nuclear power plant were directly attacked, it could lead to the release of a 'very large' amount of radioactive material into the environment. 'Similarly, if the attack causes a failure of the only two power supply lines of the nuclear power plant, it could lead to the melting of the reactor core, thereby releasing a large amount of radioactive material into the environment.' Grossi stated that in the worst-case scenario, both situations would require evacuation, providing shelter for residents, and administering iodine tablets as protective measures, with the impact ranging from several kilometers to hundreds of kilometers. Radiation monitoring would cover a radius of hundreds of kilometers, and food restrictions may also need to be implemented.
