Holtec will supply the first 94 containers — a $300 million contract. Simultaneously, Ukraine is to use Holtec technology to start making its own canisters, for domestic use and export. Yesterday, UNIAN reviewed the storage project in a 2,000-word analysis. Noting that Holtec is using the same dry storage equipment in Belgium, Sweden, the UK and the US, the news agency concludes that Ukraine’s repository “will be the most modern and safest nuclear fuel storage facility in its class.”
