Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant— Europe's largest nuclear power plant in terms of installed capacity and the third largest in the world. It is located on the banks of the Kakhovka reservoir on the Dnieper, not far from Energodar in the Zaporozhye region of Ukraine. The station consists of six power units with VVER-1000 reactors, the first of them was put into operation in December 1984, the sixth— in October 1995.
The Zaporozhye NPP accounts for six of the 15 operating nuclear power units in Ukraine. The plant annually generates 40-42 billion kWh, which is almost 21% of the republic's electricity production and 50% of its production at nuclear power plants.
