The North-Ukraine nuclear scientific hub will be built in Slavutych, Kyiv region.

State Enterprise National Nuclear Energy Generating Company "Energoatom" reported this.

The Regional Development Agency and the city government of Slavutych implement the project. The Slavutych Nuclear Science Hub will bring together research institutes, educational institutions, and energy companies to collaborate on the following:

• creating new nuclear power plant projects,
