KIEV, Nov. 9 - Ukraine may tap Chinese firms or multinational companies like Westinghouse to finish construction of two nuclear power reactors at Khmelnytskiy after renouncing a deal with Russia, Energy and Coal Industry Minister Volodymyr Demchyshyn said Monday.

The comment underscores a change as the government has been previously considering the Czech company Skoda JS as a likely replacement for Russia’s Atomstroiexport.
