Finland Voices Alarm Over Lack of Oversight of Russian Nuclear Facilities
HELSINKI – Finnish authorities are expressing growing concern over a lack of reliable data regarding the safety and security of Russia‘s nuclear power plants, notably considering the ongoing war in Ukraine. The absence of independent oversight raises fears about potential accidents or deliberate misuse of these facilities, with implications extending far beyond Russia’s borders.
The escalating geopolitical tensions have severed established channels for information exchange and international inspections. Finland, sharing a long border with Russia and historically participating in collaborative safety assessments, now finds itself largely in the dark about operational status, maintainance schedules, and security protocols at Russian nuclear sites. This information vacuum is particularly troubling given reports of degraded safety standards and increased military activity near some facilities.
