Ukraine nuclear chief says Zaporizhzhia plant does not need Russian fuel

Responding to claims that the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant will switch to Russian nuclear fuel, the head of Ukraine’s state nuclear energy company said there are fresh fuel supplies in storage at the six-reactor plant, the largest in Europe.

Energoatom chief Petro Kotin decried as “fake news” Russian assertions that the Russian-controlled Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant will need Russian fuel.

His comments came after an official of Rosenergoatom, Russia’s nuclear power operator, was quoted by Russia’s TASS state news agency as saying that the Zaporizhzhia plant would be switched to Russian fuel once its reserves are exhausted
