Details
He reminded that a plant for the production of basic equipment for small modular reactors based on Holtec SMR technology will be built in Ukraine.
Together with Holtec, we agreed to build a plant in Ukraine to manufacture equipment for small modular reactors, including the reactor vessel. The plant should not only ensure the construction of about 3000 MW of SMR capacity in Ukraine, but also become a hub for exporting this technology to other countries
It is specified that this production will be of great importance for the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine and will significantly strengthen the competitiveness of the Ukrainian nuclear industry.
Recall
Since the start of russia's full-scale invasion, Ukraine has completely stopped supplying russian spare parts for nuclear reactors and is actively developing small modular reactor technology.
