On 13 July, Energoatom acting CEO Pavlo Kovtonyuk visited Rivne Nuclear Power Plant to inspect the construction of protective structures designed to safeguard critical equipment from enemy attacks.
"Enhancing the protection of our nuclear facilities remains one of Energoatom's highest priorities during wartime. Construction is progressing on schedule, and we are doing our best to strengthen the resilience of critical infrastructure against potential attacks," Pavlo Kovtonyuk said.
During the visit, the Energoatom chief also chaired a plant management meeting to review the progress of the scheduled maintenance program at Rivne NPP. The Plant management assessed the status of maintenance activities and agreed on the key priorities for the weeks ahead.
