Based on the results of the audit, the international agency refuted the statements of the Russian Federation about activities that violate agreements at the nuclear power plant.
The International Nuclear Energy Agency (IAEA) has confirmed that there are no undeclared nuclear materials at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. The State Inspectorate for Nuclear Regulation of Ukraine (State Nuclear Regulatory Inspectorate, SNRCU) reported this on its website on Tuesday, November 29.
The IAEA conducted an inspection of this facility from 22 to 24 November.
The State Nuclear Regulatory Authority clarified that the inspection of the state specialized enterprise Chernobyl NPP was conducted by the IAEA inspector with the participation of the SINR inspector.
The IAEA in early November 2022 conducted inspections at three points in Ukraine at the request of its government and did not find any signs of undeclared nuclear activities and materials.
IAEA inspectors did not find undeclared nuclear materials either at the Pivdennoukrainsk NPP or at the National Technical Center of the Kharkov Institute of Physics and Technology.
Ukraine’s written requests to the IAEA to send teams of inspectors were sent after the Russian Federation filed accusations of alleged “illegal activity” at three facilities: at the Institute for Nuclear Research in Kyiv, East Mining and Processing Plant in Zhovti Vody, and the Yuzhny Machine-Building Plant in Dnipro.
Recall, earlier it was reported that the IAEA conducted an inspection of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant and the Central Enterprise for the Management of Radioactive Waste (TsPORO).
