There are no technical or safety obstacles standing in the way of the project to complete the third and fourth power units at the Khmelnitski nuclear power station in Ukraine, the head of Czech engineering firm and nuclear supplier Škoda JS said.
František Krček made his comments following talks in Kiev with executives from Ukraine’s state nuclear operator Energoatom.
He said one of the main topics discussed was the participation of Škoda JS in the project to put into operation two Russia-supplied VVER-1000/392 reactor units, Khmelnitski-3 and -4.
Construction of Khmelnitski-3 began in September 1985 and construction of Khmelnitski-4 in June 1986. Work on the units stopped in 1990 following a decision by the government to halt construction because of the 1986 Chernobyl disaster.
