A fire occurred at the Kursk nuclear power plant in Russia, specifically at a transformer, but authorities have confirmed that it posed no danger to human safety or the overall operations of the facility. The incident has raised concerns about nuclear safety, with the governor of Kursk describing a Ukrainian attack as a threat to nuclear safety. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) acknowledged media reports about military activity related to the fire but stated radiation levels near the Kursk plant remain normal. This comes amid ongoing monitoring of nuclear sites, including the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant in Japan, where treated water has been released into the ocean for two years with no detected abnormalities in the surrounding waters. The IAEA continues to emphasize the importance of long-term safety management for nuclear facilities.
