Also, acting Chairman of the Board of Energoatom Petro Kotin said that Energoatom is repairing NPP power units ahead of schedule as quickly and efficiently as possible to ensure their reliable operation during the heating season.
It is noted that this year repairs are being carried out at 8 power units of Rivne, South Ukrainian and Khmelnytsky NPPs. Zaporizhzhia NPP has not undergone scheduled preventive maintenance since its occupation.
Thanks to the round-the-clock, high-quality and efficient work of nuclear engineers, the total duration of repairs has already been reduced by 22.3 days from the planned one. As a result, NPPs generated an additional 171.84 million kW of electricity and supported the power grid by reducing the duration of outages in June
