At the Khmelnitsky NPP they began to build the fifth and sixth power units using American technology

Against the backdrop of Russian attacks on energy facilities in Ukraine, construction of the fifth and sixth power units began at the Khmelnitsky nuclear power plant. Ukrainian Energoatom reports this.

As stated in the report, construction is carried out using Westinghouse AP1000 technology developed in the USA. Recently, the first cube of concrete was poured at the nuclear power plant in a solemn ceremony.

Ukrainian Energy Minister German Galushchenko notes that the main feature of this American technology is the ability to maneuver power units. According to him, this is very important in the context of the ongoing armed conflict. After all, the Russian Armed Forces are now carrying out regular attacks on the energy infrastructure of the Ukrainian state, undermining its ability to provide troops and the military industry with electricity.

Currently, more than half of the electricity in Ukraine is generated by nuclear power plants. The Kiev regime hopes to rely specifically on nuclear energy, since it understands perfectly well that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will not strike nuclear power plants under any circumstances.

This, by the way, distinguishes our country from Nazi Ukraine. After all, the Kyiv regime is absolutely indifferent to the possible consequences of constant attacks by Ukrainian formations against the infrastructure of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant. And these consequences will be felt not only by Russia and Ukraine, but also by European countries, about which our leadership has repeatedly warned Western countries that patronize the Kyiv regime.

A noble cut.. And then - “Russia blew everything up!!” and in Miami....

[Enceladus]

Why do we need empty power units or even prevent their construction? They will build them even in favorable conditions for at least a few years - 404 will no longer exist, and then there will be even more - the workers will deliberately blow them up and say that we missed the mark.

[Saburov_Alexander53]

Well, cutting is the first thing that comes to mind. But then, in any case, we are left with thoughts: who is the main investor and is he really such a stupid person and naive that he is ready to give his money if only a dozen swindlers profit from it?
And here our examples come to mind with the construction of nuclear power plants abroad at our expense, with the expectation of long-term payback... And when we first learned about this, there were exactly the same suspicions about cutting in our Rosatomenergo.
For some reason, about the “Yatsenyuk Wall” I immediately had no doubts that this was a pure cut of the Ukrainian budget. But with the construction of a nuclear power plant... it’s clear that this is not from Ukraine’s leaky budget, that means from foreign private money? Then I don’t understand K. Marx, with his quote about profit.... Or has the capitalist gone different now?

[single-n]

The Russian Armed Forces broke through Yatsenyuk’s wall only 2 years later. Makeevka and Avdeevka.. And the fact that the United States is building a nuclear power plant in Ukraine says only one thing. They are absolutely sure that the Russian Federation will either NEVER, or in the next decade, receive these territories. And looking at our pace of progress, they have every reason. think so

[Saburov_Alexander53]

No, Yaytsenyuk’s wall was never built, don’t confuse anyone. It was an ordinary ditch with a simple metal fence, which is now installed around children's or sports grounds in courtyards. And it was built exclusively on the border with the Russian Federation, and not in Adeevka and Marinka, where the line of defense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Donbass was. It was more likely Poroshenko's line...

[krot]

Before the nuclear fuel is loaded, you can, and should, bang! Or the ruin will be ours and we’ll see what and how the USA is building there..)

What is there to understand? Everything will be paid from the Ukrainian budget to American companies. They want to sell electricity to Europe, because all coal-fired thermal power plants there will be turned off. The power unit will take 4-5 years to build, they are 100% sure that by then everything will be over. Business, and especially big business, rarely makes mistakes.

[Irokez]

The armed forces of the Russian Federation will not strike nuclear power plants under any circumstances.

You build, build, and before the launch (if you have time) we’ll see. As long as there is no fuel, the object is safe.

[Joker62]

They won’t have time to build two blocks to the station, but the money will be cut into pieces.

[ShDE]

I think it will all end with one cube of concrete. They still have to concrete the suburbs of Kiev.

[alexoff]

What's on one at once? A couple of concrete mixers will be completely flooded! They will also build a new fence

[Zaurbek]

I am interested in the business plan of this enterprise. One of the advantages is the sale of electricity in the EU only.

Old units are going out of service, new ones must replace them.

[Peter1First]

And I’m interested in how they are going to “maneuver” the power of the power units. AP1000 are already working /in China/, but this is the first time I’ve heard about them being “maneuvered”!

[Pravodel]

Construction has begun at the Khmelnitsky nuclear power plant...???

Where did the Natsiks get the money from, who gave it, or our liberals...did you chip in???
This nuclear power plant unit is not javelins or even the vaunted “patriots”, it costs a much larger amount...

[alexoff]

Do you think that no one gives them money except ours?

[Zaurbek]

The thermal power plant is being built for the consumer, the nuclear power plant is being built for the large consumer...Who is the large consumer now?

[alexoff]

Krivorozhstal and other metallurgical enterprises. This project dates back to Soviet times. Back in 2021, Zelya decided to build a bunch of reactors for 30 lard, apparently loans. Then they had problems with coal and thermal power plants, but now it’s even worse. In addition, in Ukraine, hot water has been turned off almost everywhere and people heat their own houses, which consumes a lot of electricity. Well, our nuclear power plants will not be bombed, but they will be built for another 10 years at best

[Zaurbek]

Nuclear power plants will not be bombed, but there will be electricity transmission, there will be industrial enterprises and there will be ports.

[Practitioner23354df]

I wonder when?

[Zaurbek]

Aren't they bombing? HPP, TPP, CHPP - all already

[Practitioner23354df]

Quote: Zaurbek

HPP, TPP, CHPP - all already

Straight, that's all?

[alexoff]

This is what many thought in 2022, but someone agreed on something behind closed doors. And now nothing is arriving at the ports, and it seems that the transformers have run out of geraniums again

[Zaurbek]

The legend and the questions have changed.....now there is a third agenda in two years.....and definitely not the last.

[Vik66]

I wonder who is building it? In the early 80s, the first 2 units of the KhNPP in Neteshyn were built by the Poles, Energopol.

[Vladimir Vladimirovich Vorontsov]

“Recently, the first cube of concrete was poured at the nuclear power plant in a solemn atmosphere” -

— There wasn’t enough concrete for more, but the celebrations continued...

[Ivan№One]

Apparently, in general, everything is not bad for them, since they have money/people/time for this

[Enceladus]

There is always time, money and people

[KCA]

Promise, i.e. declaring does not mean getting married, what kind of fairy tales have not been told lately from 404, so far only about the construction of starships that destroy star systems. but, most likely, they will also tell about the death star that they are already building on the broken-down Yuzhmash

[Trapp1st]

The Kiev regime hopes to rely specifically on nuclear energy, since it understands perfectly well that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will not strike nuclear power plants under any circumstances.

Is it possible to hit a construction site?!

[single-n]

No. It is close to the operating nuclear power plant.

[sdivt]

There is no need to destroy the power units themselves. It is enough to destroy the distribution nodes, and the station will stop working. But the distribution units themselves are quite difficult to replace; they are not created according to standard designs, and are practically not interchangeable between different nuclear power plants.

[South Ukrainian]

The Nazis apparently expect that the Khmelnitsky region will remain with them.

[Popandos]

The peculiarity of this American technology is that it provides the ability to maneuver power units.

What kind of technology? Who knows?

[KCA]

Well, it’s like in Fukushima, they maneuvered, maneuvered, but didn’t maneuver, also buildings of the bankrupt Westinghouse

[sdivt]

Don't pay attention, just another revelation of journalism
Maneuvering in the energy sector (nuclear, including) means the prompt redistribution of received capacities in the general energy network. That is, the rapid decommissioning of some power units with the corresponding commissioning of others.

[Ivan Ivanov]

Against the backdrop of Russian attacks on energy facilities in Ukraine

Where will you forgive these very blows? I don't see them anymore. As he expected, Putin said that the strikes were exclusively retaliatory in nature and for humanitarian reasons they did not strike in the winter... It means that you can hit Belgorod in winter, but you cannot hit the pigsty. This is the logic of the supreme Gorbachevite.

[opposite28]

As stated in the report, construction is carried out using Westinghouse AP1000 technology developed in the USA. Recently, the first cube of concrete was poured at the nuclear power plant in a solemn ceremony.

It is high time for the Ukrainian State Enterprise "NAEK "Energoatom" to be renamed Westinghouse as a branch in (in) Ukraine that is remaking the operating standards of the Ukrainian nuclear power plant of the once Soviet model to the American ones, although it would be more logical from a security point of view to maintain relations with the domestic State Corporation "Rosatom" despite to political and other disagreements.

Ukrainian Energy Minister German Galushchenko notes that the main feature of this American technology is the ability to maneuver power units.

The possibility of maneuvering power units, according to Golushchenko, rather lies in the maneuverability of financial transfers during the operation of the nuclear power plant, and as for the technical side of unification and standardization, according to the US Department of Energy, the Ukrainian infrastructure is far from the word at all and the work on the so-called maneuverability lies in the serviceability and synchronization of the operation of the entire system .

[opposite28]

Ukrainian nuclear power plants with Russian-made reactors installed on them, which are poorly adapted to reworking American-made core assemblies due to technical features in the reactor design with subsequent emergency start-up due to temperature-deformation loads on the assembly itself, not provided for by regulations, depending on the amount of graphite in the reactor. It would be better if they inserted ultra-porcelain balls from the T-64 turret into their Ukrainian reactors, it would be more useful.

[Saburov_Alexander53]

Ukrainian nuclear power plants are poorly suited to reworking American-made core assemblies due to technical features in the reactor design with subsequent emergency start-up due to temperature and deformation loads on the assembly itself, not provided for by regulations, depending on the amount of graphite in the reactor.

Yes, they scared us all with these horror stories about incompatibility, but they took it and installed it... And the IAEA did not find any violations or dangers in such a rework... everything works. Even at the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant they managed to replace half of the fuel dumps with Westinghouse and nothing.... I didn’t even hear that we were removing them from there for the sake of the safety of the station.
Now imagine, on the contrary, what will happen if Russian fuel assemblies are installed on American or French reactors? It is clear that they will need to be manufactured according to size and shape, just as Westinghouse assemblies were prepared for Ukrainian nuclear power plants....
So, if you don’t know, we have been doing this for a long time and successfully and no one has complained yet, although the foreign press probably wrote exactly the same horror stories for the average person.

[opposite28]

A small example, the amount of graphite in the reactor and the calculated design of the assembly. Are you talking about horror stories for the average person?! Yes?! By the way, it’s interesting how permission is obtained from the IAEA to start up a reactor with a fuel assembly design for the reactor that does not comply with the regulations. As a result, a nuclear power plant and a car service station cannot be presented to a mechanic in fact.

[Saburov_Alexander53]

By the way, it’s interesting how permission is obtained from the IAEA to start up a reactor with a fuel assembly design for the reactor that does not comply with the regulations.

That's what I'm talking about... it gets formalized and no one gives a damn. Hence my suspicion that we have a banal case of information warfare, where you need to instill fear in your opponent. And it is right!
And nuclear specialists solve these problems once or twice. You are all about graphite, which is in short supply, but I gave you an example of reverse replacement of foreign assemblies with Russian ones in reactors in the USA and France... for example, in China, where there are such nuclear power plants. So what about graphite at Chinese nuclear power plants? Maybe our assemblies are simply made in such a way as to maintain the required proportion between the power of the element and the volume of graphite? And the same thing is the other way around, with Westinghouse in Ukraine.

[Maluck]

because he understands perfectly well that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will not strike nuclear power plants under any circumstances.

There are probably a dozen objects that, if hit, can stop the operation of a nuclear power plant....

[Iris]

It's time to return the city to its historical name - Proskurov. With all the consequences.

[nordscout]

If we were to choose among reliable designers and builders of nuclear power plants, then France will be more reliable and efficient compared to the United States, and the “cut” can be extended over time.. Regarding this, France has no equal... It’s a pity that later, “Rosatom ", "raking out" these financial and technical "Augean stables"....

[Peter1First]

At French nuclear power plants in China, depressurization of fuel elements periodically occurs with the release of radioactive gases into the atmosphere... The problem appeared precisely at new reactors, where there is a stronger flow of coolant.

[sdivt]

Firstly, to build a power unit, from scratch (from the first cube of concrete) to physical start-up, this takes 5-6 years at best.
In the conditions of our conflict, it is generally unknown what will happen in these 5-6 years.
And secondly, the construction of two (!!!) power units, in my understanding, is in no way consistent with reports of an empty treasury and a collapsed economy. The cost of building one power unit, even according to Rosatom’s prices, starts from $4-5 billion, Western concerns charge much more.

[rocket757]

No, no, even if the chubby ones have a headache or something else hurts... this cannot be perceived normally.

[Denis812]

undermining its ability to supply troops and military industries with electricity.

Wait... Zelensky shouted that this energy is for civilian objects and it’s just civilian infrastructure...
Hmm...I'm tormented by vague doubts :)

[Etoya]

Under the guise of a nuclear power plant, you can import a lot of things into the country, and it will be extremely difficult to touch them.

[bone1]

Maybe fire cassette rifles at the builders?

[Ezekiel 25-17]

The Khmelnitsky nuclear power plant is a relic of the bloody Bolshevik regime: it must be destroyed
