Nuclear Security News and Member Updates Roundup, May 2025

Dear Friend,

The month of May saw a four-day military crisis between nuclear-armed rivals India and Pakistan, as well as continuing attacks on Ukraine’s Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) and its fragile power supply. Ukraine’s Energy Minister spoke out about the dire risks at play at the ZNPP, which were underscored by separate news that the Zaporizhzhia scenario was a driver behind a new Chinese military study of China’s nuclear facilities’ vulnerabilities during conflict. Other reports highlight safety and security risks to the U.S. National Nuclear Security Administration from ongoing staff- and cost-cutting efforts, as well as how the private sector is forging ahead with nuclear security planning for advanced reactors. Forum members meanwhile have been prolific in publishing research and analysis on the interface of artificial intelligence and other disruptive technologies with the nuclear sector – read on to learn more.

Warmly,

Christina

Impact: The Russian Invasion of Ukraine

• Ukraine ‘One Step Away from Nuclear Meltdown’ (April 27): Ukraine has been left “one step away” from catastrophic nuclear meltdowns because of Russian bombardments of its atomic power stations, the nation’s energy minister has warned. Missile attacks on the three nuclear power stations left under Ukrainian control, as well as their associated substations, cables and cooling equipment, are putting Europe at risk of a cloud of nuclear radiation escaping into the atmosphere, according to German Galushchenko, who oversees Ukraine’s energy systems. “Russia has been attacking the substations supplying independent cooling power to the nuclear station. So, when there is destruction of these power supplies, the nuclear units go into an emergency shutdown regime,” he said. “The electricity for cooling then has to be supplied by a reserve diesel generator – but this is dangerous [because reserve generators can fail]. “We have been one step short of a nuclear meltdown many times now.”
• Update 289 – IAEA Director General Statement on Situation in Ukraine (April 30): Ukrainian engineers and construction workers are carrying out temporary repairs of the Chornobyl site’s New Safe Confinement (NSC) that was severely damaged in a drone attack earlier this year, Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said today. The drone strike on February 14 pierced a big hole through the roof of the large confinement structure built to prevent any radioactive release from the reactor destroyed in the 1986 accident and protect it from external hazards. It took several weeks to completely extinguish the fires and smoldering caused by this strike. The IAEA team based at the Chornobyl plant in northern Ukraine visited the NSC in recent days to discuss ongoing efforts by the site to assess the building’s structural integrity following the attack almost three months ago and to observe repairs of the inner and outer cladding to prevent water ingress. […] At Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP), the IAEA team has continued to hear explosions in the distance every day over the [week of April 28], a constant reminder of the potential dangers facing nuclear safety and security. […] At the South Ukraine NPP, the IAEA team reported about many air raid alarms over the [week of April 28]. The team was informed by the site that six drones were detected at a distance of 1.5 km from the plant in the night of April 25, coinciding with the sound of military activity that appeared to be coming from an attempt to shoot them down.
• Russia Makes New Statement About US and Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Plant (April 30): Russia’s Rosatom has claimed it is ready to discuss the presence of the United States at the [ZNPP] if the Russian leadership agrees to it, said Rosatom Director General Alexey Likhachev, Interfax reports. According to the state corporation Rosatom, Russia is open to discussing a potential US presence at the ZNPP as part of the settlement of the war in Ukraine. “If the country’s leadership makes a political decision, we are ready to discuss this with the American side,” Likhachev said on Wednesday, April 30.
• Clouds Loom Over Europe’s Nuclear Titan (May 4): Ukraine’s [ZNPP], the largest in Europe, has provoked anxiety ever since Russian troops captured it barely two weeks into the 2022 invasion. But recently, after three years of occupation and frequent near misses that threatened radiological disaster, a promise of sunnier days suddenly popped into view, albeit briefly. In a March 19 call U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky discussed American protection and investment for Ukraine’s nuclear power—or even ownership, according to a White House summary. [IAEA] director Rafael Grossi upped the ante one week later, telling Reuters that Zaporizhzhia’s reactors could restart within “months” of a ceasefire, and the plant could be fully operational in a year. The promise of a rapid restart at Zaporizhzhia, which has six 950-megawatt reactors, quickly faded amid daily and deadly Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities.
• Update 290 – IAEA Director General Statement on Situation in Ukraine (May 8): Ukraine’s [ZNPP] has once again lost the connection to its only remaining back-up power line, underlining the continued fragility of the electrical grid during the military conflict, Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi of the [IAEA] said [on May 8]. The latest disconnection of the 330 kilovolt (kV) power line – which occurred just before noon local time on [May 7] – left the plant entirely dependent on its last functional 750 kV power line for the electricity it needs to cool its reactors and for other essential nuclear safety and security functions. According to Ukraine’s Ministry of Energy, the disconnection occurred as a result of military activities. “A secure supply of off-site power from the grid for all nuclear sites is one of the seven indispensable pillars of nuclear safety and security that we outlined early in the war. It is obvious that this supply is far from being secure. The vulnerability of the grid remains a deep source of concern for nuclear safety at the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant as well as elsewhere in Ukraine,” Director General Grossi said.
• Update 291 – IAEA Director General Statement on Situation in Ukraine (May 15): Ukraine’s [ZNPP] has for more than a week relied on a single power line to supply the electricity it needs for essential nuclear safety functions, with the military conflict hampering efforts to restore the connection to its back-up line, Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi of the [IAEA] said [on May 15]. The ZNPP’s only remaining 330 kilovolt (kV) back-up line was disconnected on May 7, leaving the plant entirely dependent on the only functioning 750 kV line. The IAEA was informed that the damage occurred in Ukrainian-controlled territory some distance away from the plant and that the Ukrainian grid operator cannot currently carry out repairs due to the active military situation in this area. The ZNPP’s six reactors have been shut down since mid-2022 but they still require off-site power to cool the fuel and minimize the risk of an accident. Before the conflict, the plant had access to ten power lines, ensuring reliable off-site power.
• France Pledges €10 Million to Repair Chornobyl Shelter After Russian Drone Strike (May 14): France has announced a €10 million donation for repairing the protective shelter over the fourth reactor at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant, which was damaged in a Russian drone strike. The agreement was signed by Pierre Heilbronn, the French President’s special envoy for economic assistance and reconstruction of Ukraine, and Mark Bowman, Vice President for Policy and Partnerships at the EBRD, during the 34th Annual Meeting and Business Forum of the EBRD in London, according to Ukraine’s Ministry of Finance. “Your contribution is crucial for ensuring nuclear safety not only in Ukraine, but globally. This is more than just technical support — it’s an investment in global stability. We deeply value our bilateral cooperation with France, a partner that has stood by Ukraine in the most difficult times,” said Ukraine’s Deputy Finance Minister, Olha Zykova.
• Update 292 – IAEA Director General Statement on Situation in Ukraine (May 21): The IAEA team based at Ukraine’s [ZNPP] heard bursts of gunfire [the morning of May 21], coinciding with a purported drone attack on the site’s training centre, Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi said. It was the third time this year that the training centre, located just outside the site perimeter, was reportedly targeted by such an unmanned aerial vehicle. The ZNPP told the IAEA team that the drone hit the roof of the training centre, without causing any casualties or major damage. It was not immediately known whether the drone had directly struck the building or whether it crashed on the structure after being shot down, the ZNPP said. The IAEA staff members heard the gunfire shortly before 10 a.m. local time, but it was not clear if this observation was connected to the drone. The IAEA team requested to visit the training centre, as it was able to do following the previous such incident that occurred in April. However, on this occasion permission has not yet been granted.
• Satellite Images Suggest a Russian Plan to Restart Seized Ukrainian Nuclear Plant (May 27): Russia is building power lines in occupied southeastern Ukraine to link to its own grid a major nuclear plant it has captured, according to a new Greenpeace report. It is the clearest evidence yet of Moscow’s intent to restart and exploit the offline facility, despite the risks and calls to address the plant’s status in peace talks. The facility, the [ZNPP], was seized by Russia early in the war in a move widely condemned by the international community. Its proximity to frontline fighting has raised fears of a potential nuclear disaster, and experts have warned against any attempt to restart the plant under current conditions. The Greenpeace report, which was shared with The New York Times, includes satellite images showing that, since early February, Russia has been building more than 50 miles of electricity lines and pylons between the occupied Ukrainian cities of Mariupol and Berdyansk, along the coast of the Azov Sea. The satellite images were verified by The Times.

Weapons, Materials, and Facilities

• DOGE Employees Gain Accounts on Classified Networks Holding Nuclear Secrets: Two members of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency were given accounts on classified networks that hold highly guarded details about America’s nuclear weapons, two sources tell NPR. Luke Farritor, a 23-year-old former SpaceX intern, and Adam Ramada, a Miami-based venture capitalist, have had accounts on the computer systems for at least two weeks [prior to April 28], according to the sources who also have access to the networks. Prior to their work at DOGE, neither Farritor nor Ramada appear to have had experience with either nuclear weapons or handling classified information. A spokesperson for the Department of Energy initially denied that Farritor and Ramada had accessed the networks. […] In a second statement later [made on the evening of April 28], the spokesperson clarified that the accounts had been created but said they were never used by the DOGE staffers. “DOE is able to confirm that these accounts in question were never activated and have never been accessed,” the email statement read.
• IAEA Says No Report of Radiation Leak From Any Pakistan Facility: There was no radiation leak or release from any nuclear facility in Pakistan, said the [IAEA] on [May 14], rejecting widespread reports that claimed Indian missiles struck Kirana Hills in Pakistan’s Sargodha during Operation Sindoor triggering a radioactive incident. The clarification followed social media speculation and foreign media theories suggesting a nuclear stockpile in Pakistan had been hit during the airstrikes.
• Nuclear Weapons Woes: Understaffed Nuke Agency Hit by DOGE and Safety Worries: In 2021, after a pair of plutonium-handling gloves had broken for the third time at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, contaminating three workers, and after the second accidental flood, investigators from the National Nuclear Security Administration found a common thread in a plague of safety incidents: the contractor running the New Mexico lab lacked “sufficient staff.” So did the NNSA. The agency, whose fewer than 1,900 federal employees oversee the more than 60,000 contractors who build and maintain the U.S. nuclear arsenal, has struggled to fill crucial safety roles. Only 21% of the agency’s facility representative positions – the government’s eyes and ears in contractor-run buildings – at Los Alamos were filled with qualified personnel as of May 2022. Now, President Donald Trump’s administration has thrown the NNSA into chaos, threatening hard-won staffing progress amid a trillion-dollar nuclear weapons upgrade. Desperately needed nuclear experts are wary of joining thanks to chaotic job cuts by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, experts say.

Threats

• China’s 100+ Reactors Could Become Wartime Targets, Study Says: The conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and attacks on the [ZNPP], spurred Chinese military researchers to consider the risks toward nuclear facilities, according to a study by China’s People’s Liberation Army. Beijing brought the total number of commercial reactors, both operational and under construction, to 102 last month, according to Beijing publication South China Morning Post. Since China has more reactors than any other country, the plants could become “prime targets in wartime.” [The paper says] “China remains in a critical period of strategic opportunity, but nuclear power plants and other key infrastructure face real and evolving risks amid complex international and domestic environments,” […]. It cited the repeated attacks on Zaporizhzhia and added that nuclear plants “would inevitably become high-value targets for adversaries in war, armed conflict or terrorist attacks, posing grave threats to lives and property.”

Security Culture

• Princess Sumaya Sponsors Launch of National Program to Promote Nuclear Security Ecosystem: HRH Princess Sumaya bint El Hassan, President of the Royal Scientific Society (RSS) and Chair of the Board of Trustees at Princess Sumaya University for Technology, emphasized the need to equip Jordanian youth with advanced technological skills, with a particular focus on promoting a robust nuclear security ecosystem and culture. Speaking on the princess’s behalf at the launch of a new national training program that aims to promote a robust nuclear security ecosystem and culture, Arafat Awajan, vice president of RSS for Scientific Research, conveyed Her Royal Highness’s pride in supporting initiatives that strengthen nuclear security awareness. The program, launched on [May 11] by the Energy and Minerals Regulatory Commission (EMRC) in partnership with the RSS and international partners, aims to build national capacity through targeted youth engagement
• TerraPower Plant Will Have More Nuclear Cops Than The Local Sheriff’s Office: A specialized security force is taking shape to protect the advanced nuclear power plant TerraPower is building in Kemmerer, [Wyoming] and it will have more officers than the local Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office. “TerraPower will have more security guards than there are law enforcement officers in Lincoln County,” Sheriff Shane Johnson told the Joint Mineral, Business and Economic Development Committee during a marathon hearing in Casper on Thursday. As the committee members heard from TerraPower Nuclear Security Manager Melissa Darlington, guards at nuclear power plants in other states are empowered by specific legislation spelling out their authority. Darlington laid out the security challenges facing the company’s Natrium reactor project during the legislative hearing. Her testimony highlighted the unique legal protections needed for nuclear security personnel to effectively defend against threats of terrorism and sabotage.

Emerging Technologies

• A&M Team Proposes Microreactor Security Solution: Proposing a cost-effective solution for reactor security, a team of Texas A&M engineering students have developed an innovative approach to ensuring advanced nuclear reactor security in energy-scarce, remote regions. [In April], A&M students competed in Aggies Invent, a three-day entrepreneurial competition hosted by Los Alamos National Laboratory, seeking to solve a variety of problems inherent to small modular reactors, or SMRs — a subset of advanced nuclear reactors that produce less than 300 megawatts of electricity. Smaller than SMRs, microreactors present the same features, with an increased potential for transportability. Nevertheless, the two reactor types typically fall under the umbrella of advanced nuclear reactors, presenting a range of opportunities for deployment.
