National Nuclear Generating Company Energoatom and U.S. Westinghouse have signed a memorandum of understanding and cooperation to implement small modular reactors SMR 300 in Ukraine, an Interfax-Ukraine correspondent reported from the scene.

According to Westinghouse President Patrick Fragman, the SMR 300 could serve as a good complement to the larger AP 1000 reactors.

Similar memorandums have already been signed by Westinghouse with Slovakia and Finland.

Energoatom and Westinghouse also signed a memorandum to extend the period of exclusivity of cooperation in building AP1000 units in Ukraine.

"Certain equipment for building AP1000 in Ukraine has already been produced in the United States. Thus, we will speed up the process of delivery and building of a reactor," he said.
