Quote: "From now on, the monitoring missions of the Agency will be present at electric substations, critical for the security of nuclear plants."

Details: Energoatom notes that a reliable external power supply is crucial for the safety of NPPs, and Russian attacks on the power grid cause major problems and create risks for their safety.

Background: Further Russian attacks on the power system of Ukraine may lead to an emergency at one of the three operating nuclear power plants still controlled by Kyiv.
