To advance this objective, it is envisioned to establish a Joint Venture between Energoatom and Holtec for a Ukrainian manufacturing facility and technology center.
More specifically, this facility would host an engineering/design center, space for material storage, component manufacturing, assembly, and testing, as well as training facilities, including an SMR simulator.
The facility is expected to create thousands of skilled jobs for Ukrainian workers.
President of SE "NNEGC "Energoatom Petro Kotin stressed, "The introduction of advanced technologies and the construction of Holtec state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities in Ukraine will be of great importance for the post-war economic recovery of our country.This joint collaboration with Holtec provides a great opportunity for Ukraine to become a leader in the field of Global Nuclear Energy."
"We think that Ukraine has demonstrated its capability to build and commission a substantial nuclear facility in spite of the continuous barrage of russian missiles raining on the country. Therefore, the reconstruction of Ukraine can begin without waiting for the end of hostilities", says Holtec’s President and CEO, Dr. Kris Singh.
