Yesterday the head of state concern, "Nuclear fuel" Tatiana Amosova announced, in fact, Russia and Ukraine set the date of commissioning of the plant nuclear fuel. According to her, in 2015, fresh plant started production of fuel production (JIT) – gasoline for nuclear power – and only in 2020 will begin production of parts for manufacture of fuel assemblies – zirconium components, fuel powders and tablets. Plant design will be completed in a year, and construction will last for future 3 years. In fact, the start up date of production shifted to two years – to this day by saying, actually begin production of FA in 2013 and full production – in 2017. That these terms are stated in terms of competition for the construction of selecting a partner company, won by Russian fuel elements. In particular, by 2013 the company was obliged to produce the power the fuel rods and fuel assemblies in the equivalent of 200 tons of uranium a year, and still have the capacity to produce zirconium and stainless steel components in the equivalent products 400 tons of uranium a year. Already in 2017 the company was obliged to begin production of fuel pellets equivalent to 400 tons of uranium per year. Executive Director for Public Relations TVEL Ivan Dybov yesterday did not explain the root causes of postponement of the plant input. "We produce all the works according to schedule and plan consistent with the concern," Nuclear fuel "»,– he said. Do not comment on the issue officially and in public relations department of the Ministry of Energy. However, a high-ranking informant "b" in the Ministry stated, in fact the biggest reason postponement were difficulties with the transfer of Ukraine by the Russian side of the scientific, technical, necessary to conduct a feasibility explanation (FS). Initially expected, in fact all of the take on Ukrainian university "UkrNIPIpromtehnologii" koy TVEL give the information needed to prepare a feasibility study. But in the long negotiations later in the development of feasibility study as a subcontractor was involved and yet the Russian State special university project (see "b" of September 15). Even a primary cause of construction delays – unavailable in Ukraine production of zirconium alloys and rolled products, koie used in the manufacture of fuel assemblies. "So far in the direction of dannoem not made the necessary effort, regardless, in fact Ukraine has all the necessary technologies," – explained in the ministry. They admit, indeed to accelerate the process of Ukraine, it is likely decided to use the skill and financial Likely three states, supposedly all – China. Member of the Verkhovna happy for Energy Alexander Hudyma notes, in fact I deferment full capacity of the plant of interest to the Russian side. It resembles, in fact supplies us with fuel elements of nuclear fuel worth $ 608.1 million a year, is in fact 54.9% of single-sized export firms. "Every year, the excess of purchase, even parts of Russia – this income support TVEL", – says the citizen Hudyma. Member of the Verkhovna happy for Energy Sergey Pashinsky notes, actually delay the introduction of the plant allows Russia to feel most strongly, and in gas talks with Ukraine. "Recently, the Cabinet announced its intention to quickly reduce its dependence on Russian gas by 2017. Not to turn this into posledstviidnyuyu was motivated, in fact immediately, by 2017 we should have started production of fuel sobstvennyeh details ", – says the citizen Pashinsky. Reduce use of gas was planned by the transfer of companies for electricity. In particular, the Energy Ministry said in fact to this informant, have all chances to move metfirmy and boiler rooms.
