Russia’s TVEL and Ukraine’s Energoatom have signed a long-term contract on the delivery of nuclear fuel to Ukrainian nuclear power plants after 2010.
The contract was signed in development of a protocol of the sixth meeting of the Russia-Ukraine Interstate Commission’s Economic Cooperation Committee of April 30, 2010.
“The contract is mutually beneficial,” Energoatom President Yuri Nedashkovsky said.
TVEL started to cooperate with Ukraine in 1996, after it had won an international tender for fuel deliveries to water-cooled water-moderated reactors of Ukraine. TVEL and Energoatom signed a contract in 1997 to ensure fuel shipments thru 2010.
