Ukraine is preparing the legal document required to cancel its contract with Russia concerning the completion of two units at the Khmelnitski nuclear power plant. The move was announced yesterday by Svetlana Kulchitskaya, deputy head of the atomic energy and nuclear industry department of the Ministry of Energy and Coal.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u201cMeasures are being taken to cancel the agreement signed in 2010\u00a0with Russia. Today, an instruction was received from the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, which gives the Foreign Ministry and other relevant bodies the authority to resolve this matter as soon as possible. The document will soon be prepared and sent to Russia,\u201d Kulchitskaya said, according to Ukrainian state-run news agency Ukrinform<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Kulchitskaya said Ukraine is preparing to cancel the 2010\u00a0intergovernmental agreement owing to Russia\u2019s \u201cfailure to meet its obligations\u201d under this accord. She also said that the government is considering other options for the completion of the units at Khmelnitski.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, the government is working out a draft legal act authorizing the definition of the legal grounds for the application of the technical characteristics of the reactor to be not a Russian product, but to offer the VVER-1000\u00a0manufactured by the Czech company \u0160koda JS for the new units,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u0160koda JS says on its website that its has been working with the VVER reactor design for nearly 40\u00a0years and that so far it has manufactured a total of 21\u00a0complete reactors of the VVER 440\/V-213\u00a0type and three reactors of the VVER 1000\/V-320\u00a0type. Since the beginning of the 1990s, the company has focused on the upgrade and service lifetime extensions of existing reactor components and also on supplying spare parts.<\/p>\n

Construction of the new Khmelnitski units was stopped in 1990\u00a0when they were, respectively, 75% and 28% complete. The government announced in September 2008\u00a0that construction of the units would resume in 2010\u00a0for completion in 2016\u00a0and 2017, these completion dates being reaffirmed in the mid-2011\u00a0energy policy update.<\/p>\n

Ukraine\u2019s nuclear power plant operator Energoatom signed a contract agreement in February 2011\u00a0with Atomstroyexport\u00a0\u2014 Russia\u2019s general contractor for the construction of nuclear power plants in other countries\u00a0\u2014 for the completion of the units as AES-92\u00a0plants with V-392B reactors similar to those already on the site. That contract followed an intergovernmental agreement signed in June 2010. Then, in October that year, Russia\u2019s Sberbank said it was willing to lend Energoatom $1\u00a0billion, with Ukraine meeting 15% of the cost of the project.<\/p>\n

But Energoatom said in May 2011\u00a0it was not satisfied with the interest rate of the proposed loan and in August 2014, Energoatom President Yuri Nedashkovskiy said Ukraine would not cooperate with Russia on construction of Khmelnitski 3\u00a0and 4. Nedashkovskiy also said Energoatom would prepare a plan for the units, including a strategy to export the electricity they generate to Europe.<\/p>\n

Ukrainian Prime Minister Areseniy Yatsenyuk said on 22\u00a0October 2014\u00a0that the project will be implemented by \u0160koda JS. Yatsenyuk had told Energoatom management to speed up construction of new nuclear reactors and to enlist the help of \u201cEuropean partners\u201d rather than Russia. A few days later, Energoatom and \u0160koda JS signed a memorandum of cooperation.<\/p>\n

Atomstroyexport, now part of the ASE-NIAEP-AEP engineering subsidiary of Russia\u2019s Rosatom, said last week it had closed down its office in Ukraine. The closure was announced in the Ukrainian parliamentary newspaper Golos Ukraini<\/em>. The office was registered in October 2004, in Slavutych.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
