Minister of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources Svitlana Hrynchuk was speaking outside the decommissioned station during the inauguration of a 0.8-megawatt solar power facility ahead of two conferences due to discuss Chornobyl and other issues related to nuclear power operations.
“Unfortunately, after the attack, the arch partially lost its functionality. And now, I think, already in May, we will have the results of the analysis that we are currently conducting ...,“ Hrynchuk said.
“In a few weeks we will have the first results of this analysis,“ she said.
Officials at the plant said the drone attack punched a large hole in the new containment structure’s outer cover and exploded inside. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova at the time called the incident at Chornobyl “a provocation”.
The plant lies within the 30-km (18-mile) exclusion zone set up after the accident, with abandoned high-rise apartment buildings and an amusement park still standing nearby.
“We have been saying for many years that the exclusion zone needs to be transformed into a zone of renewal,“ she said. “And this territory, like no other in Ukraine, is suitable for developing renewable energy projects.”
