On December 14, ceremonial event was held at Chornobyl NPP site to honour those who participated in mitigation of the consequences of Chornobyl NPP accident. Annually, this day reminds us of the courage and professionalism of more than 600 thousand liquidators - servicemen, militiamen, rescuers, employees of state enterprises and institutions, who jeopardizing their lives succeeded in overcoming one of the largest man-made disasters of the 20th century.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has conducted the 35th rotation of personnel for its permanent monitoring mission at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant (NPP).
On November 15, 2024, a new team of specialists arrived at the Chornobyl NPP. This rotation includes highly qualified international experts from Romania and Bulgaria with extensive experience in the nuclear energy sector.
The IAEA representatives oversee compliance with safety indicators at Ukrainian nuclear power plants, analyze data to enhance safety measures, and provide recommendations, particularly under martial law conditions.
A new project aimed at supporting restoration of safety, security and infrastructure has begun at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant (NPP). The Chornobyl NPP is the Client for the project, and UTEM-Engineering LLC has been selected as the Consultant, with the contract already signed.
The project is funded through a grant from the International Chernobyl Cooperation Account (ICCA).
On 24 September 2024, a technical visit to the Chornobyl NPP was conducted by representatives of the volunteer organization “Climate Friends for Nuclear Energy”.
