Iran's nuclear installation, safe: IAEA expert

Tehran, March 3, IRNA – An expert at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has said that Iran’s nuclear installations are appropriately safe.

Ms. Olena Mykolaichuk, the Leader of the Integrated Regulatory Review Service (IRRS) mission and Head of the State Nuclear Regulatory Committee of Ukraine, made the remarks while talking to reporters at the end of the team’s mission to Iran.

An international team of nuclear safety experts Tuesday completed an IAEA mission to review the effectiveness of Iran’s safety regulation of its first nuclear power plant and to identify possible improvements before the plant begins operation.

The scope of the mission was limited to the safety regulation of Bushehr nuclear power plant (BNPP-1). The mission was an objective peer review based on IAEA safety standards, and was neither an inspection, nor an audit.

Ms. Mykolaichuk further praised the healthy safety status of the Islamic Republic’s nuclear installations./end
