Communication restored with the Chernobyl nuclear power station, IAEA says

Direct communications between the International Atomic Energy Agency and the Chernobyl nuclear power plant have been restored, Qazet.az reports according to the IAEA.

Russian forces held Chernobyl for five weeks before withdrawing on 31 March. The IAEA lost contact with the nuclear power site on 10 March.

“This was clearly not a sustainable situation, and it is very good news that the regulator can now contact the plant directly when it needs to,” IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi said in a statement
