"The unit with a capacity of 1,100 MW will be built using the latest American technology AR1000 of the Westinghouse company. A number of pre-project works have already been completed, in particular, an analysis of the existing and prospective use of water resources in the area of the NPP location, an analysis of the existing infrastructure of the Rivne NPP and intersystem connections of the western region of the energy system of Ukraine. Pre-project work has also been carried out to determine the limiting geological conditions before choosing a power unit," the message says.
