Russian invaders occupy Slavutych — city of Chornobyl power engineers

The Russian fascist invaders occupied the city of Slavutych, where the power engineers of the Chornobyl NPP and their families live.

"According to the management of the SSE Chornobyl NPP, the city of Slavutych has also been captured by Russian invaders, there is enemy military equipment in the city. This endangers the life and health of all residents of the city," the State Nuclear Regulatory Inspectorate of Ukraine (SNRIU) said in a statement.

Slavutych is home to personnel working at the facilities of the Chornobyl NPP, as well as at facilities and enterprises located in the exclusion zone, and members of their families.

"This puts significant psychological and moral pressure on the operational personnel ensuring the nuclear and radiation safety of facilities at the SSE Chornobyl NPP site," the agency notes.

The agency stressed that it is now impossible to control the state of nuclear and radiation safety at the Chornobyl NPP site. It is also impossible to control the territory of the Exclusion Zone and the state of nuclear materials on it.

As of March 26, 2022, all facilities of the SSE Chornobyl NPP and facilities located in the Exclusion Zone are also under occupation.
