Energoatom and Westinghouse agreed on supply of nuclear fuel and building of new nuclear power units

On June 2, at the site of Khmelnytsky NPP, National nuclear energy generating company of Ukraine (Energoatom) and Westinghouse electric company signed three agreements: on supply of nuclear fuel to all nuclear power plant (NPPs) in Ukraine, on increasing the number of nuclear power units to be built using the AP 1000 technology in Ukraine from five to nine units and on establishing the Westinghouse engineering and technical center in Ukraine.

In connection with the refusal to purchase russian nuclear fuel, Energoatom agreed with its strategic partner to increase the supply of American nuclear fuel for all Ukrainian nuclear power plants and for those that they are planning to build in Ukraine. Fuel deliveries will be made from Westinghouse’s production site at Västerås in Sweden. At the same time, production of fuel assembly components will be carried out in Ukraine on the basis of one of the separate divisions of Energoatom, which is currently completing the qualification for production of assemblies for Westinghouse fuel.

The agreements signed by Energoatom and Westinghouse are the next powerful step towards the energy independence of Ukraine and its carbon-free future. They open a huge potential for the supply of Ukrainian electricity to European countries, which will help to reduce their dependence on russian energy.

One of the most powerful ways to communicate that foreign businesses can and do operate successfully in Ukraine is through the voices that matter most to potential investors – those of other businesses.
