Ukraine plans to start building four new nuclear reactors this year

According to Energy Minister German Galushchenko, Ukraine plans to start construction work on four new nuclear power reactors this summer or autumn to compensate for lost energy capacity due to the war with Russia. Two of the units will be based on Russian technology that Ukraine wants to import from Bulgaria, while the other two will use Western technology from Westinghouse. All four reactors will be built at the Khmelnytskyi nuclear power plant in the west of Ukraine, Galushchenko added.
