Westinghouse Electric Company and Energoatom, the state-owned nuclear utility of Ukraine, have signed a contract in Kiev to build two new Westinghouse AP1000 nuclear power plants at the existing Khmelnitski nuclear station.
Westinghouse said the agreement – for the first Westinghouse AP1000s in Ukraine – initiates engineering and procurement of long-lead items for the first Westinghouse AP1000 unit at the Khmelnitski site.
There are two unfinished nuclear units at Khmelnitski that Energoatom has been planning to complete, Khmenlitski-3 and -4.
