The most promising of them is Chyhyryn, near the town of Orbita in Cherkasy oblast,” said Energoatom According to Energoatom the plant will be equipped with AP1000 reactors built by U.S The members of the Chyhyryn City Council voted to grant Energoatom permission to resume construction of the plant “The first steps have been taken,” said Energoatom Successful implementation of these plans is undoubtedly a significant investment in the post-war recovery and support of the state's energy security,” said Energoatom CEO Petro Kotin “The introduction of innovative nuclear technologies will make Ukraine a leader in the field of nuclear energy with unique experience and its own technological solutions.” The Chyhyryn station is an unfinished nuclear power plant located in Cherkasy Oblast near the shore of the Kremenchuk reservoir between the villages of Stetsivka and Vitove The Orbita settlement was being built for the plant's employees before the fall of the Soviet Union triggered the cancellation of the project Since 2022, Ukraine has been experiencing significant shortages of electricity due to constant Russian missile and drone attacks on Ukrainian energy facilities and the occupation of one of four Ukraine’s nuclear power plants The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant has been under Russian occupation since March 2022 the plant has been repeatedly disconnected from the Ukrainian power grid due to Russian attacks on the country's energy infrastructure Energoatom's press service reported on April 15 that it has started building reactor units 5 and 6 at the Khmelnytskyi Nuclear Power Plant using U.S which would help prevent power outages in case of Russian attacks would then replace the Zaporizhzhia plant as the largest one in Europe “There was a plot allocated for this and there are good conditions the population is positive about the construction of such a facility,” he said there is a high-power transmission line nearby which is important for a high-capacity nuclear power unit.” Mr Kotin said last year that Energoatom was working to get the Chyhyryn site approved Mr Kotin said the town of Orbita was built for the planned nuclear facility but abandoned Construction at Orbita was officially cancelled before fall of the Soviet Union but it nevertheless has a population of 120 plans for the town were initially drafted in 1970 the year ground was broken for the nearby nuclear station Mr Kotin said construction work on two new Westinghouse AP1000 units at the Khmelnitski nuclear power station “will begin as soon as the war is over” He said an agreement signed with Westinghouse covered the construction of five units in total with the other three units to be distributed at the country’s other existing nuclear power sites The agreement includes two new Westinghouse-made AP1000 nuclear reactor units by 2029 at the existing Khmelnitski site The move means the uncompleted Unit 4 will be completed and a new Unit 5 will be built using AP1000 technology Dear Reader,Unfortunately our comment platform isn\'t available at the moment due to issues with our paywall and authentication vendor
