Roderick said, "This contract extension recognises that Westinghouse fuel has been fully validated to be safely loaded and operated, even taking into account the performance problems of the competitor’s fuel.

"This agreement recognising the excellent Westinghouse VVER fuel design performance will allow Energoatom to continue diversification of its fuel supply."

Westinghouse said that it has been a single-source fuel provider for pressurised, boiling and advanced gas-cooled reactors worldwide, while it has ten fuel manufacturing locations around the world.

Currently, Westinghouse is providing fuel for 147 nuclear power plants globally.
