Westinghouse is discussing with Energoatom the production of individual modular units for AP1000 reactors in Ukraine, particularly in the western regions, according to Dan Lipman, president of Westinghouse’s Energy
Systems business unit, in an exclusive interview with Interfax-Ukraine.
“We buy where we build. This means that Ukraine can start manufacturing some of the modules right now,” he said.
AP1000 technology involves modular construction, which reduces the time required to build units and allows for the localization of part of the production.
