Russia addresses IAEA concerns about mines placed around ZNPP

In January,  Mikhail Ulyanov, Russia's Permanent Representative to International Organizations in Vienna, addressed the concerns of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) about mines being placed along the perimeter of the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP). 

Although mines had been removed from the buffer zone between the facility's internal and external fences in November, they were discovered to have been reinstated earlier in January. The UN agency confirmed that the area remains inaccessible to operational plant personnel.

"There is nothing exceptional about the presence of mines. It is a normal way of protecting the plant from attacks and sabotage," declared Ulyanov on social media, emphasizing the necessity of these measures.

The IAEA issued a statement asserting that the presence of mines in the buffer zone did not meet its safety standards.

Ulyanov countered by emphasizing that the restricted zone is off-limits to plant personnel and insisted that the mines posed a threat only to "rats, crows, and potential saboteurs."
