The Assembly of Chernobyl Shelter Fund (CSF) contributors and Nuclear Safety Account (NSA) donors is held at the London Headquarters of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development from 5 July through 7 July.
Members of the Ukrainian delegations have informed that participants of the Assembly of CSF contributors highlighted fulfilling all financial and organizational actions on implementing the Shelter Implementation Plan according to the approved plan and schedule. The Assembly approved the financing for developing a technical part of the design to dismantle unstable structures of the Shelter Object over which the New Safe Confinement (the Arch) was installed in November 2016. Besides, the Assembly also agreed to allocate funds to procure the required equipment for performing these works and dismantling the Shelter Object's unstable structures.
It is an important decision for Ukraine that yet again demonstrates the support to Ukraine from the international community in overcoming consequences of the Chernobyl disaster.
The next Assembly of CSF contributors and NSA donors will be held in December 2017 in Ukraine, at the Chernobyl NPP site. According to the schedule, the NSC acceptance for operation is planned for that time.
