KYIV, March 8 – Fresh nuclear fuel fabricated by Westinghouse for two power units of Khmelnytsky NPP with VVER-1000 reactors was delivered to the station site, the press service of Energoatom reported on Friday.

According to it, fuel loading into the NPP reactors will be carried out this year during scheduled maintenance.

“Before this, two Khmelnytsky NPP units operated on Russian fuel, purchased even before the full-scale invasion. After February 24, 2022, Energoatom completely stopped cooperation with the aggressor country. Now all domestic nuclear power plants will use American fuel assemblies,” the report notes.
