Oslo believes that a potential nuclear accident in Ukraine will have consequences not only for Ukraine itself, but also beyond its borders.
Norwegian authorities have announced the allocation of 250 million crowns (more than UAH 863 million) to ensure nuclear safety in Ukraine, the country’s Foreign Ministry said.
“Norway is increasing its support for nuclear safety and security in Ukraine in 2023 by NOK 250 million. Russia’s illegal war poses a threat to nuclear security in Ukraine,” the statement said.
In particular, 100 million kroons are allocated to support the work of experts from the International Atomic Energy Agency in Ukraine.
In addition, Norway increases funding for cooperation with Ukraine in the field of nuclear security by 150 million kroons. These funds will be used to reduce the risk of accidents and incidents involving the release of radioactive substances, as well as to reduce the risk of radioactive materials falling into the wrong hands.
Recall that on June 6, the Russian invaders blew up the dam of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station. The IAEA said the destruction of the hydroelectric dam and the release of water from the Kakhovka reservoir pose a serious threat to the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant.
