next to the unfinished Chyhyrynska Nuclear Power Plant in Cherkasy Oblast
(Wikimedia Commons)Ukraine is preparing to resume the construction of the previously abandoned Chyhyryn plant in Cherkasy Oblast
state nuclear energy agency Energoatom reported on Aug
“The Energoatom team is actively working to find new construction sites. 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
