US-based Westinghouse Electric Company and Energoatom, the state-owned nuclear utility of Ukraine, have signed an exclusive agreement to bring Westinghouse AP1000 reactors to multiple sites in the eastern European country.

The signing of what Westinghouse said was an “historic” agreement took place at the US Department of Energy headquarters in Washington and was witnessed by Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky, US energy secretary Jennifer Granholm and Ukraine’s energy minister German Galushchenko.

Energoatom, operates Ukraine’s fleet of 15 commercial nuclear power plants, which in 2020 provided about 51% of the country’s electricity production share. Two Russia-supplied VVER-1000 PWRs units have been under construction at Khmelnitski-3 and -4 since the late 1980s, but progress has mostly stalled for years, because of financing and political issues.

Chernobyl NPP has been issued with a licence to operate the €1.5bn structure known as the New Safe Confinement (NSC) that was built to encase Unit 4 and the temporary “sarcophagus” built to secure the destroyed reactor.

The State Nuclear Regulatory Inspectorate of Ukraine (SNRIU) said a ceremony to mark the award of the licence was scheduled to be held at 11:00 local time on 20 August.

“This licence will provide regulatory control over both the current operation of the complex and the subsequent transformation of the zone into an ecological safe area,” SNRIU said.

The licence means Chornobyl NPP can begin full-scale operation of the NSC including handling of waste produced by remote decommissioning of the sarcophagus and the Unit 4 plant.
