IAEA to inspect Chornobyl and 3 operating nuclear power plants in Ukraine

The IAEA press service announced the missions on the official webpage.

”Following a request from Ukraine, an agreement has been reached between the government and the IAEA to dispatch teams of Agency nuclear safety and security experts to the South Ukraine, Khmelnytskyi and Rivne Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs),” the announcement reads.

Under the agreement, the IAEA will also send an expert mission to Chornobyl.

While the world is focused on the precarious nuclear safety and security situation at the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant, we must not forget the other nuclear facilities located in a country at war," Director General said.

Initially, each mission will last for about a week and may be followed by others if needed.
