The International Nuclear Societies Council Executive Board said it is “deeply concerned” by the events taking place in Ukraine and the resulting suffering of the people. 

“The INSC Executive Board hopes that the staff of nuclear facilities and their families will keep safe,” a statement said.

“The INSC Executive Board is convinced they are doing their utmost to maintain the safety of the plants. 

Knowing the importance of this for the future of nuclear energy worldwide, the INSC Executive board is thankful to the staff for their dedication and professionalism, even more in very difficult conditions.”
