The IAEA’s Incident and Emergency Centre says that they recently asked Pakistani officials about the effects of this month’s flooding in Pakistan on the nation’s nuclear facilities.

On Thursday, 19 August, the Pakistan Nuclear Regulatory Authority replied that “All the nuclear installations in Pakistan such as the nuclear power plants and research reactors are located at sites which have not been affected by floods. Moreover, all radioactive sources in the flood affected areas have been verified to be safe and secure”.
