The enterprise will be built in the Nikolaev region near the city of Yuzhnoukrainsk, where the Yuzhnoukrainsk NPP is located.

Ukraine will build a plant for the production of fuel assemblies (FA) to supply nuclear power plants with fuel. He said it too. O. Chairman of the Board of NNEGC Energoatom Petr Kotin, the press service of the company reported on Tuesday, April 9

According to him, the enterprise will be built in the Nikolaev region near the city of Yuzhnoukrainsk, near where the Yuzhnoukrainsk nuclear power plant is located.

“We decided to locate the plant near the city of Yuzhnoukrainsk. I did not even expect that such great support would be given from the residents of the city,” said Kotin.

He clarified that the production will be based on the technology of the American company Westinghouse.


A Fuel Assembly (FAA) is a set of fuel elements developed to simplify the accounting and movement of nuclear fuel in a reactor. A fuel assembly contains 150-350 fuel rods, and 200-450 fuel assemblies are placed in the reactor core. Fuel assembly is the final product used as fuel in nuclear power plants.

We would like to remind you that in March nuclear fuel was delivered to Westinghouse for two power units of the Khmelnitsky NPP. Previously, KhNPP units operated on Russian fuel, which was purchased before the full invasion.
