Nuclear Power engineering of Ukraine

The coin is dedicated to the nuclear power engineering, which is the leader in the power field of Ukraine and is of strategic importance for its economy satisfying for 50% of the state's needs in electric power. These indicators will further increase due to setting in operation this year of two new nuclear power units - the second unit of Khmelnytsk- and the forth  unit of Rivne nuclear power plants, which are being put into operation under compliance of current requirements and safety regulations. The completion of these units have been accomplished without drawing foreign credits but with support of international institutions which do care about their future safety functioning.
