NNEGC will receive the Holtec technology for manufacturing components of small modular reactors in Ukraine. The corresponding agreement was signed by Head of Energoatom Petro Kotin and President and CEO of Holtec International Dr. Kris Singh.
Energoatom and Holtec plan to build a plant for the manufacture of components for dry spent fuel storage on the territory of our country.
