Representatives of the U.S. Department of Energy visited the Chernobyl NPP in the early October.

The visit’s objective was to learn about progress of the projects being implemented at the ChNPP industrial site within the frame of financial assistance of the international donor community. During the visit the delegation’s members visited the contamination control area and Units 1, 2 control rooms, as well as a construction site of a new dry type storage facility for spent nuclear fuel (ISF-2) and outdoor switchgear of the ChNPP.

Also the guests visited the Shelter Object’s observation pavilion, where were informed about the New Safe Confinement construction project progress and a current state of the Shelter. Then they went to the free access area and observed the Confinement’s Arch itself that impressed them a lot. Besides, they also visited Prypiat, an old satellite-town of the Chernobyl NPP.

The issues of further cooperation between the SSE ChNPP and the U.S. Department of Energy were discussed during a meeting with the Plant’s management.
