The RNPP has four power units with a total installed capacity of 2 million 835 thousand kW, which meet modern international safety requirements. The design coefficient of use of the installed capacity is 74.2%.
RNPP produces about 19 billion kWh of electricity annually. This is 21.6% of the production by nuclear power plants and 12% of the total electricity production in the country.
A modern complex for the processing of radioactive waste, which includes fragmentation, cementation, pressing and activity measurement units, has been put into operation at the RNPP.
Khmelnytskyi NPP
The total design capacity is 4,000 MW. The first unit was connected to the network in 1988.
It is located in the Slavut district of the Khmelnytskyi region in the floodplain of the Horyn River. Construction began in 1981. As a result of the adoption of the moratorium, the construction of other blocks was frozen. The second power unit was commissioned in 2004.
City of Khmelnytskyi energy workers – Netishyn.
