Details: A geodetic report on the selection of a site for the construction of these facilities has already been developed, and geological studies have been carried out.

"These pre-design works are a prerequisite for the preparation of a feasibility study. It will become the basis for the working documentation, which will already take into account all the steps that will make up the large-scale construction at the Pivdennoukrainsk NPP," the nuclear power plant's press service said.

"Next year, we plan to commission several large-scale projects, namely MRT2 – Tashlyk No. 2 pumping station. We also plan to commission several stages of reconstruction of splash pools with a pumping station next year," said Andrii Pistun, Deputy Director General for Capital Construction.

A total of three power units with a total capacity of 3,000 MW currently operate at the Pivdennoukrainsk NPP.

Background: Energoatom is preparing to implement the previously abandoned Chyhyryn NPP project, and the first steps have already been taken in this direction.
