LONDON, April 20. /TASS/. Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Rafael Grossi has called a potential nuclear arms race his "worst fear." "There is talk about 'friendly proliferation'. There are all these things which fill me with concern because I believe that a world with 20 nuclear weapon states or more would be extremely dangerous," he said in an interview with The Daily Telegraph. He said that a potential nuclear arms race is his "worst fear." "At some point, we are going to see a crack in the system. And then we'll have a domino [effect]. It is a very, very fragile position," he noted.
