Ukrainian nuclear utility Energoatom says it has begun transporting used nuclear fuel from its operating reactors to the newly built and commissioned Holtec-engineered Central Spent Fuel Storage Facility (CSFSF) known as a Consolidated Interim Storage (CIS) Facility in the US. The CSFSF is expected to save approximately $200m a year compared with the previous practice of transporting used fuel to Russia for reprocessing. “Today, Ukraine is entirely self-sufficient in the strategically crucial area of storage and management of the used nuclear fuel discharged by its reactors eliminating a critical constraint in the continued generation of electricity by the nation’s nine reactors,” Energoatom noted.

Accelerated decommissioning of the boiling water reactor (BWR) at US Vermont Yankee NPP is continuing with dismantling and packaging of the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) and internal components now completed. The Orano Group, part of the NorthStar decommissioning team, acquired the plant from Entergy in 2019, said segmentation of the irradiated reactor core was carried out remotely underwater to ensure the highest level of safety.
