At three operational nuclear power plants in Ukraine — Khmelnytskyi, Rivne, and South Ukraine — out of nine units, five are currently in operation. The remaining four units are undergoing scheduled maintenance and refueling. It is expected that two of them will return to operation soon, which will positively impact the overall electricity production in the country.

Maintenance and Preparation for Resumption

The five reactors at the mentioned nuclear power plants continue to steadily produce electricity for the national energy system. The other four units are currently at various stages of scheduled maintenance and refueling. Experts predict that two of these reactors will soon return to operation.

Safety Support and International Assistance

The IAEA also added that as part of the support for nuclear and physical safety, the Khmelnytskyi NPP and the Centralized Spent Nuclear Fuel Storage Facility received communication systems purchased with funds from the European Union.

Since the beginning of the full-scale war, Ukraine has already received 135 international shipments under the assistance program implemented by the IAEA. In particular, to ensure an additional level of safety at the Khmelnytskyi NPP and the Centralized Spent Nuclear Fuel Storage Facility, modern communication systems funded by the European Union have been implemented.
