The relevant decision was made on June 17, 2024, at a meeting of the Committee on Energy, Housing and Utilities of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.
The Committee meeting was attended by Minister of Energy of Ukraine German Galushchenko, Head of JSC ”NNEGC ”Energoatom” Petro Kotin and Head of State Nuclear Regulatory Inspectorate of Ukraine Oleh Korikov, who answered all questions of the lawmakers regarding the construction of new KhNPP units 3 and 4.
In particular, the deputies were convinced that there was no dependence on russia during the construction and operation of VVER-1000 power units, which was a key issue.
It is expected that the draft Law of Ukraine "On the Siting, Design and Construction of Units 3 and 4 of the Khmelnytskyi Nuclear Power Plant" No. 11146 will be considered by the Verkhovna Rada shortly.
