Details: Eide stressed that Russia’s full-scale war “continues to pose a great risk to nuclear safety in Ukraine”, and the Norwegian authorities are closely monitoring the situation.
He also recalled that Norway has been working closely with Ukrainian authorities to preserve nuclear safety over the past few years, including supporting the work of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Ukraine.
“The recent incident at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant showed how important the work on nuclear safety in Ukraine is,” the minister concluded.
Background:
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that on the night of 13-14 February, a Russian attack drone with an explosive warhead hit the shelter of Unit 4 of the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant. According to first estimates, the damage to the sarcophagus is significant.
