The President and the IAEA head, whose meeting occurred at the presidential residence in Olivos (east of Buenos Aires), reviewed the country's nuclear projects for peaceful use and Grossi's proposals in this area.
In his first visit to the country since taking office in 2019, Grossi was able to tour "all the facilities of the Argentine nuclear sector" and learn about "the different developments they are having in the sector."
"Argentina has a very well-earned prestige over more than 60 years of commercial use and nuclear applications in a general sense," assured the IAEA head.
