Ukraine plans to build four new nuclear reactors at its Khmelnitsky power plant (west) in 2024. This aims to compensate for the loss of the Zaporizhzhia power plant, the largest in Europe, occupied by Russian forces since March 2022.
With additional reactors, the power plant would become “the largest in European and even more powerful,” assured German Galushchenko. One of these new VVER-1000 reactors could come into operation within “two and a half years” at best.
