On Thursday, a Russian official told Interfax that the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in southern Ukraine, which Russia acquired last year, will discontinue using U.S. nuclear fuel as soon as possible.

Ukraine switched to Westinghouse nuclear fuel after its 2014 confrontation with Russia at Europe’s largest nuclear power plant, primarily built in the Soviet era.

Last year, Russian troops invaded Ukraine and seized the plant, causing a nuclear security crisis owing to near-constant shelling that Kyiv and Moscow blame on one other.

Renat Karchaa, an adviser to Rosenergoatom’s general director, told Interfax that the plant has four years of U.S.-made fuel.

He added the Russian management would swiftly replace that gasoline with its own because it believes its technologies are better.
