The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, which has been managing over €2.5bn in international funds to transform the Chernobyl nuclear since 1995, says it is extremely concerned by recent developments and believes they are jeopardising the achievements of decades of successful international collaboration to secure the site.
The bank said its position on Chernobyl, which was occupied by Russian forces at the end of last month, soon after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine began, is fully aligned with that of the International Atomic Energy Agency, which has called for Russia to guarantee the safety and security of nuclear sites.
The bank warned that uninterrupted power supply must be maintained for the Chernobyl facilities and any loss of power is potentially a serious threat to their nuclear safety.
