    On 5 August 2025, the State Agency of Ukraine on Exclusion Zone Management (SAUEZM) welcomed Mr Martin Gajdos, the newly appointed Technical Coordinator of IAEA missions to Ukraine. The meeting also brought together representatives from the Department of Nuclear Energy and Atomic Industry of the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine, alongside specialists from the Chornobyl NPP.

    The introductory visit aimed to build the foundations for further cooperation, provide an update on the current situation in the Exclusion zone, and outline the next steps for implementing international assistance programs. Particular attention was given to the aftermath of the Russian drone strike on the New Safe Confinement (NSC) at Chornobyl NPP.

    A delegation consisting of Jean-Noël Barrot, Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs of the French Republic, Gaël Vessier, French Ambassador to Ukraine, and senior officials from the Ministry of Energy and the State Agency of Ukraine for Exclusion Zone Management visited the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant.

    The guests visited the northern garage of MCS, where the russian UAV Geran-2 hit the NSC Arch, and inspected the damage caused by the strike drone with a high-explosive warhead. In addition, they visited the Central Control Room of the NSC, where ChNPP specialists familiarised them with the functions and features of the NSC systems control.

    A new project will be financed under Grant Agreement No.5 signed between the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant (ChNPP). The project aims to assess the damage and develop a plan of emergency repair activities for the New Safe Confinement (NSC) outer cladding and sealing membrane following the Russian drone strike of 14 February 2025.

    On 19 June 2025, a delegation from the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Norwegian Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority (DSA) visited the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant. The visit was aimed at monitoring of projects implemented by the DSA in the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone. The guests discussed the results of cooperation between Norway and Ukraine in overcoming the Chornobyl accident consequences.

    During the visit, the delegation visited the New Safe Confinement (NSC), familiarized with its condition and functioning, as well as with the damage caused by the russian UAV hit on 14 February 2025.

     As a part of the International Technical Assistance provided by the IAEA, the Chornobyl NPP has received a measuring equipment that is necessary for radioactive waste (RAW) and radioactive materials (RM) management.

    According to Oleksii Miasnykov, Head of the Integrated Radioactive Material Management Department, the α-β radiometer and spectrum photometer provided by the IAEA allow wider opportunities for measuring and characterizing RAW and RM:

    Today is the 39 -th anniversary of the day that was forever engraved in the history of mankind. On 26 April 1986, the world witnessed one of the largest man-made disasters - that of the explosion at the Unit 4 of the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant. On this day, the staff of the Chornobyl NPP held some memorial events to commemorate the liquidators` heroism, their courage and self-sacrifice for the safety of the whole world.
