In 2007, nuclear power supplied 47.5% of Ukraine's electricity production of 195 billion kWh. The total installed capacity of nuclear reactors in Ukraine was over 13 GWe.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Nuclear Power in Ukraine )〕 Ukraine is one of Europe’s largest energy consumers, it consumes almost twice the energy of Germany, per unit of GDP. A large share of energy supply in Ukraine comes from nuclear power. Energoatom, a Ukrainian state enterprise, operates all four active nuclear power stations in Ukraine.〔(Energoatom chief Kim overstepped his powers when signing contract, failed to show up for questioning, says interior minister ), Interfax-Ukraine (12 June 2013)〕 ==Overview== Ukraine used to receive its nuclear fuel exclusively from Russia. But since 2008 the country also gets nuclear fuel from Westinghouse.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Westinghouse and Ukraine’s Energoatom extend nuclear fuel contract ) (Westinghouse CEO: We are ready to put our fuel in all of Ukraine’s NPP ), UNIAN (28 October 2015)〕 Oil and natural gas provide the remainder of the country's energy; these are also imported from the former Soviet Union. Ukraine is heavily dependent on its nuclear energy. The largest nuclear power plant in Europe, the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, is located in Ukraine. In 2006, the government planned to build 11 new reactors by the year 2030, in effect, almost doubling the current amount of nuclear power capacity.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Nuclear Power in Ukraine )〕 Ukraine's power sector is the twelfth-largest in the world in terms of installed capacity, with 54 gigawatts (GW).〔 Renewable energy still plays a very modest role in electrical output; in 2005 energy production was met by the following sources: nuclear (47 percent), thermal (45 percent), hydroelectric and other (8 percent).〔 | The Chernobyl disaster was a nuclear accident that occurred on 26 April 1986 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine. An explosion and fire released large quantities of radioactive contamination into the atmosphere, which spread over much of Western USSR and Europe. It is considered the worst nuclear power plant accident in history, and is one of only two classified as a level 7 event on the International Nuclear Event Scale (the other being the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster). The battle to contain the contamination and avert a greater catastrophe ultimately involved over 500,000 workers and cost an estimated 18 billion rubles, crippling the Soviet economy.〔From interviews with Mikhail Gorbachev, Hans Blix and Vassili Nesterenko. Relevant video locations: 31:00, 1:10:00.〕 In 2011 Energoatom began a project to bring safety into line with international standards at an estimated cost of $1.8 billion, with a target completion date of 2017. In 2015 the completion date was put back to 2020, due to financing delays. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nuclear power in Ukraine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
