Yukiya Amano spoke Wednesday at the site of the world’s worst nuclear accident. He was accompanied by UN
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych.
Amano says many countries will continue to find nuclear power an important option for energy diversification but that the global community must do its utmost to ensure its safety.
His visit comes just days before the 25th anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster.
