Khmelnytskyi Nuclear Power Plant

[1] Khmelnytskyi Nuclear Power Plant is connected to the Rzeszów–Khmelnytskyi powerline, one of three 750 kV lines running between Ukraine and the European Union.

[2] On two occasions in November 2023, explosions were heard near the Khmelnitsky Nuclear Power Plant and its two Soviet-era reactors, which was assumed to be the result of near-misses by Russian missile attacks on or near the facility.

[3] Construction of the first reactor started under the Soviet Union in 1981 and the first unit was put in operation in late 1987.

Following the Russian attack on Ukraine going on since February 2014 with varying intensity the Ukrainian government of Arseniy Yatseniuk formally terminated the agreement with Russia in September 2015.

[11][12] In May 2022, Energoatom stated that the full scale Russian invasion going on since February and occupations of other power stations had not changed their ambitions to construct these units.
