CNSC statement on ongoing situation in Ukraine 29 September

Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission

As Canada's nuclear regulator, the CNSC continues to monitor the events in Ukraine and working closely with our federal partners to support the Canadian Government response.

With Ukrainian and Russian consent, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has arrived in Ukraine to conduct an inspection of Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) later this week. The team of experts and inspectors will assess the physical damage to the facilities and undertake vital safeguards activities.

Although the military action continues, latest reports indicate that the infrastructure at ZNPP remains intact and that there is no immediate radiological threat to the areas surrounding the nuclear power plant in Ukraine, to neighbouring countries or to Canadians.

The IAEA remains the most trusted and credible source of information on nuclear safety in Ukraine, and it continues to monitor and provide regular updates
