Investigative activities underway at Khmelnytskyi Nuclear Power Plant

Investigative activities are underway at the Khmelnytskyi Nuclear Power Plant (KhNPP, Netishyn, Khmelnytskyi Region).

It was reported in a statement by Energoatom on its Telegram channel, according to the Ukrainian News agency.

“JSC NNEGC Energoatom reports that on June 25, authorized law enforcement agencies are conducting an investigation at the Khmelnytskyi NPP site,” the post states.

According to information available to the company, the investigative activities concern specific procurement procedures carried out in previous years.

Energoatom is fully cooperating with law enforcement agencies and providing all necessary documentation and information in accordance with Ukrainian law.

The statement notes that the investigative activities do not affect production processes or the safe operation of the facility.

The Khmelnytskyi NPP is operating normally, ensuring the reliable and safe operation of its power units and stable electricity production to meet the country’s needs.

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, on April 28, the Khmelnytskyi NPP reconnected a power unit to the power grid following scheduled preventive maintenance.

The Khmelnytskyi NPP consists of two power units (VVER-1000) with a total capacity of 2,000 MW (commissioned in 1987 and 2004).
