The Czech company Škoda JS from the ČEZ group delivered to Ukraine eight new drives for the reactors of the Rivne NPP. The transportation took place in complete secrecy to protect the valuable cargo from Russian shelling.
This is reported by Novinky.
A leading European company completed delivery before Christmas and handed over 8 new drives for two VVER 440 type reactors.
“Due to Russia’s repeated attacks on the energy infrastructure, we are only reporting this now that we have delivered the last cargo to its destination,” explained Karel Samets, a spokesman for the Pilsen engineering company.
According to him, the devices ensure the stable operation of the reactor and allow it to be regulated, which will help ensure a stable supply of electricity to the war-ravaged country.
Recently, ÚJV Řež, which is also part of the ČEZ Group, produced and delivered a special cable to strengthen the containment building of the reactor. It weighs thirteen tons and measures one hundred and seventy-three meters.
According to the contract, Škoda JS sent 76 storage devices to the Rivne NPP. Most of them are already installed and working. The rest are ready to replace those that will complete the work. The cost of the contract is not disclosed at the request of the customer.
ŠKODA JS is currently the only manufacturer in the world that can supply this type of drive to Ukrainian nuclear power plants. Another alternative producer is only Russia.
The company expects to expand cooperation, including with the South Ukrainian NPP. ŠKODA JS is also actively working in connection with the already publicized expansion plan of the Khmelnytskyi NPP.
