Energoatom continues to carry out preparatory works at the construction site of Khmelnytskyi NPP Units 3 and 4. The first place in this process is not occupied by production issues but by people who will be involved in completing the power units.

We do not have any staffing problems with filling all the vacant positions at the construction site, but we should provide people with normal living conditions near the facility where they will work.

About 1,000 specialists will be involved in the first stages of power unit construction, but at the peak, almost 9,000 workers will be involved. All of them must have housing with all the amenities. Netishyn, a satellite town of Khmelnytskyi NPP, has no available housing stock. Many people from the temporarily occupied territories have relocated here, have already settled in, and will probably continue to live in the town of nuclear workers.

Currently, 600 employees of Zaporizhzhia NPP who left their homes in temporarily occupied Enerhodar with their families are already employed at Khmelnytskyi NPP.

This step is aimed not only at preserving the workforce capacity of Ukraine's nuclear sector but also at supporting people who have faced challenges due to the war. Most of these employees will be involved in construction and installation work at KhNPP Units 3 and 4. All of them need urgent housing.

Therefore, we found quick solutions to address this issue and set up two modular towns in the shortest time possible.

The first comprises 4 Swedish-made modular houses, consisting of 44 single-room apartments and 4 two-room apartments. We received them as aid from Sweden. I am sincerely grateful to the Government of this country and all responsible persons who quickly reviewed our project and decided to provide us with this assistance.
