Czech foreign minister points to safety risks linked to Ukraine’s nuclear power plants

At a conference on nuclear safety in Vienna, Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavský praised the efforts of the International Atomic Energy Agency to monitor the situation at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant. The Czech foreign minister said the occupation of the plant by Russia poses a high risk, and he criticized the fact that the agency's staff does not have full access to the plant and its surroundings. Lipavsky also pointed out the serious nuclear safety risks linked to Ukraine's three other nuclear power plants, such as the possibility of a drone or cyber-attack.
