The International Atomic Energy Agency said the Chernobyl power plant was no longer transmitting data to it and expressed concern about employees working at the Ukrainian facility.
The agency said Tuesday that its head, Rafael Grossi, “reported the loss of remote data transmission from the preventive measures monitoring systems installed at the Chernobyl atomic power plant.”
“The agency is examining the deployment of security measures monitoring systems at other locations in Ukraine and will provide more information soon.”
The IAEA uses the term “protections” to describe the technical measures it applies to nuclear materials and activities to deter proliferation through early detection of the misuse of these materials.
On February 24, the Russian military operation in Ukraine began, and the Russian military took control of the now defunct Chernobyl power plant, which was the site of the disaster that killed hundreds of people and spread radioactive contamination across western Europe in 1986.
More than 2,000 people are currently employed at the facility, as it requires ongoing management to prevent another nuclear disaster.
