Khmelnitski nuclear power plant

Khmelnitski nuclear power plant in context

By gross operating capacity Khmelnitski nuclear power plant is the 4th largest of 4 operating nuclear sites in Ukraine, holding 14% of the country's operating capacity, and ranks 89th of 172 worldwide.

Its operating units started up between 1988 and 2005; the median unit is 29.5 years old, younger than the median of 39.0 in Ukraine.

The 2 units with both construction and grid dates on record took 6.2 to 19.5 years (median 12.8) from construction start to grid connection; the median across all reactors connected in the 2000s is 6.8 years.

The nearest other tracked nuclear sites are Rivne nuclear power plant (125 km).

Build time by unit

Nearest tracked nuclear sites

How these are worked out: ranks use gross operating capacity; ages count from the start-up year on record, as on the age page; build times run from construction start to grid connection, as on the build-times page; ratings are the tracker's net and design net capacity, as on the uprates page. Distances are straight-line between exact positions, so a site with only an approximate position gets none. A unit missing a date or a rating is left out of the figure that needs it.
