Westinghouse seeks bigger share of nuclear fuel supply

The global leader in nuclear fuel production, U.S.-based Westinghouse Electric, is so hungry for expanding its business in Ukraine that its president José Emeterio Gutiérrez visits the country at least twice a year.

“Ukraine is really, really a very critical customer for us,” Gutiérrez told the Kyiv Post at the Hilton Kyiv hotel during a recent two-day trip to Ukraine.
This makes sense, since Ukraine’s state nuclear power monopoly Energoatom is the company’s second largest customer in Europe after France in Europe. And nuclear energy is responsible for 60 percent of electricity generation in Ukraine.
