Ukraine has become fully independent of Russian nuclear fuel - Ministry of Energy

"Even before the full -scale invasion of Russia in Ukraine, we started diversifying nuclear fuel supply for our nuclear energy. At the time of the start of full -scale attack, 50% of nuclear fuel was received from the US company Westinghouse, but 50% - from Russia.

But when the invasion began We have terminated all contracts with Russia, and as we can see, we can provide ourselves with nuclear fuel without the supply of TVL (OJSC "Twell" is a producer of nuclear fuel in the Russian Federation - Ed. ), " - said Galushchenko. According to the Minister of Energy of Ukraine, before the full -scale war, our country sent spent nuclear fuel for processing in the Russian Federation, but even before that the invasion of all contracts was terminated.

"We have completed the storage of waste nuclear fuel and put them into operation. Therefore, we told the Russians that we will no longer send them fuel for processing. Now we have the opportunity to be independent," Galushchenko said. As the focus has already wrote, there will be more light in the country, because two NPP units have been launched in Ukraine. Energoatom said that the power system will be 1220 MW more, which should reduce the time of shutdowns.

Focus also wrote that Russian invaders had brought to the Zaporizhzhya NPP staff from Kalinin NPP. The Russians had Ukrainian instructors, but they refused. Focus has already wrote that almost 90% of Ukrainians, according to a survey, are not afraid of Russia's nuclear blow. The majority of the population of Ukraine against the surrender and stands for the return of the Donbass and the Crimea.
