ENERGY MINISTRY OF UKRAINE APPEALS TO OSCE FOR TIGHTENING MONITORING OF NUCLEAR FACILITIES

6 March , 2022  

Ukraine insists that a special monitoring mission of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) should establish round-the-clock control and analysis of the situation at all domestic nuclear facilities, in particular, Chornobyl and Zaporizhia, as well as other Ukrainian operating nuclear power plants.
As reported on the website of the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine on Sunday, this is stated in a joint appeal of Energy Minister Herman Haluschenko and heads of the State Nuclear Regulatory Inspectorate Oleh Korikov and the state-owned enterprise Energoatom Petro Kotin dated March 5, sent to OSCE Secretary General Helga Maria Schmid.
According to Haluschenko, the letter contains detailed information about the criminal and threatening actions of the Russian army near and at the nuclear facilities of Ukraine themselves. This refers primarily to the seizure of Chornobyl and Zaporizhia nuclear power plants and, at the same time, the terror of personnel and residents near the cities.
The authors of the appeal called on the OSCE to immediately begin work to establish and document all the facts of the crimes of the Russian troops that threaten the safe operation of nuclear facilities and could lead to an environmental catastrophe on a global scale, the report says.
