The Russian company TVEL bypassed the American Westinghouse in the competition for the construction of the Ukraine plant to produce nuclear fuel.

In Ukraine last saga was resolved with the choice of winner for the construction of the plant nuclear fuel. And contrary to the hopes of many representatives of the “orange coalition“, it was not an American Westinghouse, a Russian company TVEL.

“We have received a notice that we are grateful for their participation in the contest and reported that an inter-ministerial commission decided in favor of TVEL
And the first of his victory to salute not fuel rods. On the contrary, said of his defeat in Westinghouse.

Economy against the policy

For information: Ukrainian experts previously predicted that Russia will win in the competition, if the calculation will be taken only the economic component.

“Fuel of the company by almost 20% cheaper than building Westinghouse, and above all - more safely and efficiently - said a committee member of the Verkhovna Rada Oleksandr Hudyma FEC. - Therefore, if we start from a pragmatic approach, rather than political, a Russian corporation, I would say, one hundred percent chance of winning. ”

In turn, Commissioner Victor Yushchenko on international energy security Bogdan Sokolovsky said that this competition takes into account the economic and energy efficiency of fuel produced, but does not take into account the political component.

“In my opinion, the choice of provider should take into account the political component, ie the factor that most of the fuel delivered to Ukrainian nuclear power plant - Russia. But this factor was not taken into account the competition commission,” - says Sokolowski.
