NCRP Comment

The National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) stands with the Ukrainian people. We continue to monitor the situation in Ukraine with concern for the safety of the population and the nation’s nuclear power stations. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is part of the United Nations and is the international center for cooperation with the Member States worldwide to promote the safe, secure and peaceful use of nuclear technologies. IAEA’s website and twitter feed are excellent sources for updates regarding the status of radiological conditions in Ukraine.
