Ukraine planning for two $5 billion Westinghouse AP 1000 reactors, part of USA marketing a fleet of new nuclear reactors to Ukraine!

 Ukraine’s Cabinet of Ministers has greenlighted the preliminary phases
of building two $5 billion Westinghouse AP 1000 reactors at the Kmelnitsky
nuclear power plant once the Russian invasion ends, the embattled
country’s energy officials have said, according to World Nuclear News.

The cabinet-level approval builds on the deal Kyiv and Westinghouse signed
in June that outlined plans for the US-based nuclear corporation to
construct a total of nine new reactors in Ukraine, as well as supply all
nuclear fuel burned in the country’s 15 Soviet-built reactors.
