IAEA
This is stated in the statement of the IAEA.
The Kursk NPP is one of the three largest NPPs in Russia, located in the city of Kurchatov, approximately 70 km from the border with Ukraine. Grossi emphasized that the IAEA is "monitoring the situation" in the Kursk region and recalled the seven indispensable pillars of nuclear safety
All protection and security systems and equipment must be fully functional at all times.
Personnel involved in operation must be able to fulfill their respective safety and security responsibilities and be able to make decisions without undue pressure.
All nuclear sites must be provided with a reliable power supply from the network outside the site.
There must be uninterrupted logistics supply and transportation chains to and from the facilities.
There should be effective on-site and off-site radiation monitoring systems, as well as emergency preparedness and response measures.
There should be reliable communication with the regulator and other involved parties.
The nuclear power plant must not be used as a storage or storage base for heavy weapons, such as rocket launchers, artillery systems and ammunition, as well as tanks or military personnel.
It is impossible to put the power supply of the ZNPP at risk.
All structures, systems and components necessary for the safe operation of nuclear power plants must be protected from attacks or sabotage.
No action should be taken that undermines these principles.
These principles were established for the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhya NPP, but they can be applied to events in the Kursk region of the Russian Federation.
What is happening in the Kursk region of the Russian Federation
On the morning of August 6, Russian telegram channels began to spread information about heavy fighting in the Kursk region of Russia (bordering Sumy Oblast) and an alleged major offensive by the Armed Forces. The General Staff of Ukraine did not comment on its involvement in this.
At first, the Russian Ministry of Defense assured that the enemy had been pushed out, but later deleted the mention of this. Meanwhile, pro-Russian channels are writing about the loss of control over more than 10 settlements, including the district center, the city of Suja. They also talk about the loss of control over the Suja gas measuring station, the only station through which the Russian Federation transits its gas to Europe.
As of the morning of August 10, a counter-terrorist operation regime was introduced in the Bryansk, Belgorod and Kursk regions (bordering Ukraine).
