Holtec plans component production for a small modular reactor in Ukraine.

The American company Holtec International is considering the option of building a Ukrainian plant that will manufacture parts for the SMR-160 small modular reactor. The CEO of the company, Chris Singh, said in an interview with Ukrinform, that he hopes that the West will provide economic assistance to Ukraine to allow this to happen. Holtec also plans to hold negotiations with Energoatom regarding the launch of a program to extend the service life of Ukrainian nuclear power units. According to Singh, this will guarantee the safe operation of the plants for more than 20 years through the modernization of equipment and systems.
