As part of the program for further diversification of nuclear fuel supplies for Ukrainian reactors, in August 2024, NFC STE specialists took part in the receiving inspection of a reload batch of Westinghouse nuclear fuel intended for VVER-440 power units of SS Rivne NPP of JSC “NNEGC “Energoatom”.

The reload batch includes both working cassettes and fuel assemblies, designed, manufactured and delivered in a short time for the needs of VVER-440 reactors at Ukrainian NPPs. All fuel assemblies supplied by Westinghouse have successfully passed the receiving inspection, with no issues with the fuel. They will be loaded into the reactors of SS Rivne NPP of JSC “NNEGC “Energoatom” during the next fuel cycle.
