IAEA loses contact with Chernobyl nuclear data systems | Al Jazeera

The UN’s atomic watchdog says the Chernobyl nuclear power plant is no longer sending it data and voiced concern for staff working under Russian guard there.

International Atomic Energy Agency chief Rafael Grossi “indicated that remote data transmission from safeguards monitoring systems installed at the Chornobyl NPP had been lost”, the agency said in a statement.

The situation for the staff was also “worsening” at the site, the IAEA said, citing the Ukrainian nuclear regulator.
