Fixing Chornobyl Part 3: A New Threat

Fixing Chornobyl Part 3: A New Threat

Forty years after the Chornobyl accident, work at the site is more critical than ever. In Part 3 of 'Fixing Chornobyl', we examine the Russian drone strike that damaged the New Safe Confinement in February 2025 and what it means for containment, safety and the future of the plant. The EBRD’s work in Chornobyl is currently supported by the European Commission, France, Norway, the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, the TaiwanBusiness-EBRD Technical Cooperation Fund, Belgium and Italy. We are grateful to the Government of Ukraine and the Nuclear Power Plant.
