The Ukrainian nuclear group Energoatom has completed preparatory stage for the completion of unit 3 and 4 of the Khmelnytskyi nuclear power plant and the group has resumed construction work. The environmental impact assessment report for the construction of the two reactors is expected to be approved by the Ministry of Ecology.
The Khmelnytskyi nuclear plant consists of two 950 MW (1,000 MW gross) reactors, whose construction started in 1981 and 1985, respectively and that started operations in 1988 and 2005. Energoatom had also started the construction of two similar reactors in 1986 and 1987 but suspended works in 1990; unit-3 was 75% complete and unit-4 28% complete. Ukraine's 2006 strategy envisions completing the construction of Khmelnitski-3 and 4.
