Ukrinform
The loss of power supply at Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant does not have a "critical impact on safety”, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
“Ukraine has informed IAEA of power loss at Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant. IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi says development violates key safety pillar on ensuring uninterrupted power supply; in this case IAEA sees no critical impact on safety,” the IAEA wrote on Twitter.
IAEA also noted: “Heat load of spent fuel storage pool and volume of cooling water at Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant sufficient for effective heat removal without need for electrical supply”.
