SNRI

The State Nuclear Regulatory Inspectorate (SNRI) faces significant challenges due to the ongoing conflict and Russian occupation of key nuclear facilities in Ukraine. Recent incidents, such as the Russian drone attack damaging the Chornobyl NPP's Shelter, highlight vulnerabilities. The SNRIU confirms the impossibility of safe operation at Zaporizhzhya NPP, occupied by Russian forces, further complicating information flow and safety assurance. However, international cooperation continues, marked by agreements with Norway, the US, and Canada, emphasizing joint efforts in nuclear regulation and safety. The IAEA plays a critical role, providing oversight and facilitating manual data transmission abandoned by authorities, ensuring nuclear safety in Ukraine's high-stakes environment remains under the global spotlight.
