The Energoatom Supervisory Board commended the company's preparations for winter operations. Supervisory Board Chair Luminita Vercell stated that Energoatom holds significant strategic importance both now and in the future. She noted that the company has developed a comprehensive winter response plan, with some planned outage maintenance work already completed; upon completion of relevant repairs, the company will be ready for autumn-winter operations. Energoatom has also procured critical spare parts and organized additional emergency preparedness training for its employees.

The final agenda item of the visit was an inspection of the Rivne Nuclear Power Plant. Independent members of the Supervisory Board toured the turbine hall and unit control rooms, reviewed the operational status of key equipment, and focused on the enhanced physical protection measures for nuclear facilities and the construction progress of protective structures.
