Chyhyryn Nuclear Power Plant

Chyhyryn Nuclear Power Station (Ukrainian: Чигиринська АЕС) is an unfinished nuclear power plant located to the east of Chyhyryn in Ukraine, on the territory adjacent to the Kremenchuk Reservoir shore, between the villages Stetsivka [uk] and Vitove [uk].

The plan to build the Chyhyryn fossil fuel power station was adopted by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Ukraine in 1970.

In 1982, the Kyiv branch of the Institute "Atomteploelektroproekt" developed a technical and economic conclusion of the construction of a nuclear power plant near Chyhyryn, and in 1983, the Ministry of Energy of the USSR approved this conclusion, and it was decided on the banks of the Dnieper River to build the nuclear power plant.

In 2005, on August 5, Minister of Fuel and Energy of Ukraine Ivan Plachkov officially announced the possibility of restoration of the construction of the Chyhyryn NPP.

On May 16, 2022, Energoatom CEO Petro Kotin announced that a contract had been signed with Westinghouse to build five AP1000 reactors in Ukraine.
