Ukrainian nuclear utility Energoatom has won approval from the local community or its plans to build a nuclear fuel fabrication plant near the city of Yuzhnoukrainsk (South Ukraine) following a day of public hearings. The facility will use Westinghouse technology for the assembling of nuclear fuel for VVER-1000 reactors, using ready-made components, some of which are already manufactured at Energoatom sites. Construction of the plant will result in the creation of about 110 jobs.

The first fuel supplied by US Westinghouse has arrived at Ukraine’s Khmelnitsky NPP, nuclear utility Energoatom reported. "Westinghouse's fresh nuclear fuel was delivered to two Khmelnitsky NPP power units with VVER-1000 reactors. Now all domestic NPPs will use American fuel assemblies,” Energoatom said on its Telegram channel. Previously Khmelnitsky NPP used Russian fuel. "All fuel delivered to domestic nuclear power plants will be American or manufactured in Ukraine using Westinghouse technology," Energoatom head Petro Kotin said in a statement.
