Ради Westinghouse США готовят на Украине второй Чернобыль. Перспективы атома
March 29, 2016
Украинская атомная энергетика практически полностью связана с российским атомным комплексом. Все 4 станции с 15 энергоблоками оборудованы реакторами производства РФ ВВЭР-400 и ВВЭР-1000. До 2011 г. все ядерное топливо поставлялось из России компанией ТВЭЛ. Но тренд «гэть від Москви» в полной мере коснулся и этой отрасли, которая на протяжении многих лет в ущерб безопасности подвергается жестоким и опасным экспериментам.
Thirty Years After Chernobyl, Ukraine Doubles Down On Nuclear Power
February 8, 2016
Nearly 30 years after Chernobyl spewed nuclear dust across Europe and sparked fears of fallout around the globe, a strapped, war-torn Ukraine is opting for “upgrades” rather than shutdowns of its fleet of Soviet-era nuclear power reactors. Kyiv is planning to spend an estimated $1.7 billion to bring the facilities, many of which are nearing the end of their planned life spans, up to current Western standards.

Letter to European Commission: Reconsider disbursement of loans for Ukraine nuclear project
August 10, 2015
In this letter, Bankwatch asks the European Commission to reconsider the disbursement of the Euratom and EBRD loans for the Ukraine nuclear safety upgrade programme that effectively enables the lifetime extensions at Ukraine’s nuclear reactors. The letter provides evidence for the intertwined character of the upgrade programme and the lifetime extensions and for Ukraine’s refusal to meet its obligations under international conventions.

Ucraina – Pericolul nuclear ascuns in vazul tuturor
July 22, 2015
Atentia intregii regiuni, daca nu a intregii lumi, este concentrata pe evenimentele din estul Ucrainei. Pe buna dreptate, pentru ca un razboi in Europa nu mai putea fi imaginat de multi dintre noi. In tot acest timp insa, in Ucraina se intampla si alte lucruri, unele cu potential impact direct asupra Romaniei intr-un caz tragic. E vorba despre starea ingrijoratoare a reactoarelor nucleare ale acestei tari si prelungirea duratei lor de viata cu incalcarea conventiilor internationale la care Kievul a aderat. De la Bucuresti, liniste totala. Autoritatile romane nu par ingrijorate.

В Национальном экологическом центре обеспокоились спешкой при устранении недостатков на Южно-Украинской АЭС
May 15, 2015
Государственная инспекция ядерного регулирования не продлила лицензию для второго энергоблока Южно-Украинской АЭС, ссылаясь на его несоответствие требованиям ядерной безопасности. Однако оператор АЭС «Энергоатом» планирует устранить несколько десятков замечаний уже к декабрю этого года, что вызвало обеспокоенность экспертов. Об этом говорится в постановлении Коллегии Госатомрегулирования от 30 апреля 2015 года.
