US and Ukraine nuclear regulators discuss cooperation

The head of Ukraine’s nuclear regulator Oleh Korikov met with the head of the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission Christopher T. Henson.
During the meeting, the parties discussed the situation at the Zaporizhzhia NPP temporarily occupied by Russia and current issues of bilateral cooperation.
Oleh Korikov emphasized that the Russian Federation, which has been occupying the Zaporizhzhia NPP for more than two years, continues to cynically violate the fundamental principles of the IAEA security and international law.
According to him, the degradation of nuclear and radiation safety continues to deepen, and the further occupation of the Ukrainian nuclear power plant will only complicate the situation.
During the meeting, the Ukrainian side presented a plan to restore the safety of the nuclear facilities of the Zaporizhzhia NPP after its de-occupation.
A kamikaze drone flies directly toward an armored personnel carrier. But instead of penetrating the hull, it explodes on a steel screen. The crew survives. This is the new reality for Ukrainian forces, who have received enhanced protection thanks to the Metinvest project within “Steel Front of Rinat Akhmetov”.
To commemorate the third anniversary of the full-scale invasion, “Bukvy” has compiled data on the largest donors supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Among them there are charitable foundations and businesses. The list includes, in particular, foundations that provide assistance exclusively from their own resources, without fundraising (such as SCM by Rinat Akhmetov, Epicenter, etc.).
In just 1.5 months, Ukrainian specialists have created an innovative protective shell for the control modules of anti-aircraft missile systems (AMS) Patriot and Iris-T SLM. This development was another step in strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities, aimed at protecting key elements of the air defense system from debris damage.
Military serviceman of the International Legion for the Defense of Ukraine with the call sign “Paradox” is the crew commander of the American M113 armored personnel carrier. He is a master at using it and is constantly improving, because the legionnaire’s skills are tested every day in battle. You have to drive to the front lines, often under artillery fire and drone attacks.
Notorious supporter of the concept “in order for a cow to eat less and give more milk, it needs to be fed less and milked more” “Servant of the People” Danylo Hetmantsev, under the guise of “business requirements”, registered a draft law on the collection of VAT on all foreign purchases, regardless of their value. In other words, every Ukrainian, buying goods of any value and purpose abroad, when sending them to Ukraine, will have to pay an additional fifth part, or 20% of the cost of the goods.
