Inspectors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), an autonomous organisation within the UN dealing with atomic energy, have completed their verification activities at three locations in Ukraine at the request of the Ukrainian government, IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi said on Thursday.
“Ukraine’s written requests for the IAEA to send teams of inspectors were issued after the Russian Federation made allegations about activities at the three locations – the Institute for Nuclear Research in Kyiv, Eastern Mining and Processing Plant in Zhovti Kody, and Production Association Pivdennyi Machine-Building Plant in Dnipro,” IAEA wrote in a press release.
The inspectors were given unfettered access to the locations and were able to carry out all necessary procedures to check if any undeclared nuclear activities have been taking place. “Based on the evaluation of the results available to date and the information provided by Ukraine, the Agency did not find any indications of undeclared nuclear activities and materials at the locations,” the IAEA stated.IAEA inspectors have completed in-field verification activities at three locations in #Ukraine at the request of the 🇺🇦 government — found no indications of undeclared nuclear activities and materials. https://t.co/RiY9hdJjSb pic.twitter.com/muPb3jeDOU
