1. Firefighting Status
Efforts continue to mitigate the consequences of the fire, contain, and extinguish isolated smouldering areas of the insulation material, involving specialized SESU response teams. A total of 17 units of equipment and 93 SESU personnel have been deployed to the site.
2. Technical Condition of the Object Shelter (OS) and New Safe Confinement (NSC-OS)
Due to damage to the external and internal cladding of the NSC Arch and Main Crane System equipment, the safety boundaries and operational conditions of the NSC-SF Complex have been compromised.
According to the results of an emergency inspection of the NSC Arch’s enclosing and load-bearing structures, as well as the maintenance garage of the main crane system, damage to the Arch’s external cladding and certain technological equipment has been identified.
