Zaporozhye Nuclear Power PlantWASHINGTON, Mar 30 Allegations of alleged threats to nuclear security posed by Russia's actions in Ukraine do not correspond to reality, the functioning units of power stations are operating normally, said Russian Ambassador to Washington Anatoly Antonov. So he commented on the corresponding statement by US Deputy Secretary of State Bonnie Jenkins. Antonov called Jenkins' words «another attempt to transfer Russophobic rhetoric to multilateral platforms.» , — the ambassador noted in a message posted on the diplomatic mission's Telegram channel. He stressed that the Russian military personnel do not interfere in the operation of the stations, but only protect them, therefore nothing poses a threat to the physical nuclear safety regime. «The functioning of the existing power units continues in normal mode. Nothing threatens their safety, the radiation monitoring systems are fully operational. There is no possibility of a release of radioactive material. This is confirmed by the leadership of the IAEA,» the ambassador said.
