Recent research conducted by Greenpeace experts has revealed that the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is unable to ensure proper control and safety at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (NPP). This problem arises due to the insufficient number of inspectors and their access to the site.
According to the findings of the environmental organization Greenpeace, the IAEA faces a number of serious problems that jeopardize the safety of nuclear facilities. One of the main reasons for this is the insufficient number of inspectors who are supposed to monitor safety at nuclear power plants, including Zaporizhzhia NPP.
Experts believe that the IAEA cannot fulfill its functions and responsibilities in full due to the limited number of inspectors and the difficulty of their access to the facilities. This calls into question the agency's ability to ensure a high level of safety at nuclear power plants around the world.
It is noted that the IAEA is not able to meet the requirements of its mandate, but this issue is not put forward for general review by the agency. This poses a threat to safety, as violations of safety principles at nuclear power plants, as well as Russian ones, remain unaddressed.
The environmental organization Greenpeace calls on the IAEA to take immediate steps to improve safety at all nuclear power plants and ensure proper control over their operations. It is important that the agency addresses the problem of insufficient number of inspectors and strengthens their capacity to effectively monitor and ensure safety in the nuclear industry. This will have an impact on environmental protection and public health.
