WASHINGTON (AN) — Rafael Mariano Grossi, Argentina’s ambassador to Austria, will become the sixth head of the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency, the United Nations' nuclear watchdog announced on Wednesday.
Grossi is set to take office for a four-year term as director general in early December, following his appointment by the agency’s board of governors. He takes over for Yukiya Amano of Japan, who passed away in July after serving for almost a decade in the post.
