National Atomic Energy Agency

PAA received information from the State Nuclear Regulatory Inspectorate of Ukraine under the Unified System for Early Exchange in Incidents (USIE) that at 5.00 p.m. all facilities at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant were taken over by foreign troops. No casualties or damage have been reported. The PAA is in constant contact with the State Nuclear Regulatory Inspectorate of Ukraine.

The National Atomic Energy Agency informs that radiation levels in Poland remain normal. There is no threat to human health and life in the territory of the Republic of Poland. PAA constantly monitors radiation in the country. Data from the Permanent Monitoring Station (PMS) are published on an ongoing basis on the PAA website.

The task of the permanent measurement stations is to enable the current assessment of radiation in the country, and early detection of radioactive contamination in the event of radiological emergency.

PMS stations detecting radioactive contamination ensure monitoring of ionizing radiation levels in the country 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Thanks to spectrometric measurements, they are able to detect the traces of synthetic radioisotopes in the environment, which allows for early and efficient response in the event of radiological emergency. In recent years, PAA has replaced old PMS stations with new ones. The stations have been located, among others along the entire eastern border of the country, enabling the ongoing assessment of radiation in the event of radiation emergency in the neighbouring countries.
