Westinghouse Electric (the United States) will begin nuclear fuel supplies to power unit No.3 of the Rivne Nuclear Power Plant in Varash, Rivne region, in 2021.
Aziz Dag, Westinghouse vice president and managing director, said this in an interview with Ukrainian News Agency.
According to him, the contract signed in January 2018 represents prolongation of the current contract and under the contract the company will supply nuclear fuel to seven reactors instead of six reactors.
He said the new contract envisages provisions on additional supplies of nuclear fuel on Ukraine's order.
At present, the nuclear fuel of Westinghouse is supplied to six reactors in Ukraine, including two reactors of the Yuzhnoukrainsk nuclear power plant (the town of Yuzhnoukrainsk; Mykolaiv region) and four reactors of the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant (Enerhodar, Zaporizhia region).
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, late in January 2018, the Kyiv-based Energoatom national nuclear energy generating company agreed with Westinghouse Electric (the United States) on supplies of nuclear fuel until 2025.
The new contact envisions supply of nuclear fuel to seven of 15 Ukrainian nuclear power units in 2021-2025.
