Norway allocates over 9 million euros for the restoration of the protective sarcophagus over the Chernobyl NPP after it was damaged by a Russian drone. This is reported by the PromPolitInform portal with reference to the message of the Norwegian Embassy in Ukraine.
Thus, Oslo will allocate 100 million Norwegian kroner – about 9.1 million euros – for the restoration of the protective structure over the 4th reactor of the Chernobyl NPP after it was hit by a Russian UAV.
The assistance will be provided through the International Chornobyl Cooperation Account (ICCA) fund of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD).
The support was announced by State Secretary Eivind Vad Petersson during a visit to Kyiv, also mentioning the incident on June 7, when a Russian attack hit a spent nuclear fuel storage facility in the Chernobyl zone.
“These attacks also pose a threat to European and international security. Norway will make efforts to reduce the risk of radioactive releases and ensure that the Chernobyl nuclear power plant continues to be operated safely,” Petersson said.
