Energoatom has announced the actual completion of the splash pool construction project at South Ukrainian NPP, which will help increase electricity production at the plant.
“We have actually completed one of the priority areas of work – the construction of splash pools in full. Now we are putting them into operation, which will increase electricity production at existing facilities by reducing the temperature of the water in the reservoir, which we use to cool the condensers of NPP turbines,” said Energoatom CEO Petro Kotin during a working visit to the South Ukrainian Energy Complex on Tuesday.
According to him, the completion of the work will also help improve the environmental situation in the region where the plant is located.
Energoatom currently operates nine power units at South Ukraine, Rivne and Khmelnytsky NPPs with a total capacity of 7,880 MW located in the government-controlled territory.
Zaporizhzhia NPP with six VVER-1000 power units with a total capacity of 6,000 MW has not been generating electricity since September 11, 2022, after its occupation on March 3-4, 2022.
