Approval management Westinghouse (USA) about the fact that the nuclear fuel of Russian organizations of JSC " TVEL " state Corporation " Rosatom", as if it damages the American fuel production in their common usage in Ukrainian nuclear power units, does not correspond to reality and is an attempt Westinghouse to blame their own failures on the Russian side. TVEL is ready to defend his desires in court, reported in the official letter of a Russian organization.

first, in some Ukrainian media have published the interview of the Vice President of Westinghouse Michael kersta in which, for example, reported about the fact that the fuel TVEL harm Westinghouse fuel assemblies within their mutual operation at South-Ukraine NPP.
