IAEA to send more observers to Ukraine to ensure NPP safety
The IAEA will expand its monitoring missions in Ukraine. Observers will be sent to infrastructure facilities that have an impact on the safety of nuclear power plants.
This was reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to Energoatom.
On Thursday, September 12, a group of IAEA experts visited one of the electrical substations that has an impact on the safety and stability of the NPP. Recently, the substation was damaged due to massive enemy rocket fire.
This visit was the beginning of the implementation of the agreements between IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi and President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
In the future, the IAEA monitoring missions will be present at electrical substations critical to the safety of nuclear facilities.
“Rashists have changed their tactics and are attacking facilities that are extremely important for the smooth operation of our NPPs. The occupants pose a threat to nuclear and radiation safety and this is real terrorism against humanity. The entire civilized world must strongly condemn these actions and demand an end to the attacks on the substations,” said Energoatom CEO Petro Kotin.
