MANCHIN QUESTIONS DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY LEADERSHIP ON REBUILDING UKRAINE'S ENERGY GRID

Hearing

"I recently went to Ukraine and saw firsthand the impact of the war on their energy infrastructure. Russia is targeting it with missiles and drones on a daily basis, and the energy grid outages not only further compromise their Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, but also compromise the three other electric producing nuclear power plants in Ukraine. They all require external power to operate their reactor cooling systems, and they are very much concerned about that essential nuclear safety and the security functions that go with it. I understand that DOE and NNSA have supported rebuilding Ukraine's grid and integrating it with Europe's while also helping monitor and reduce nuclear risks. How do you describe DOE's and NNSA's involvement in this and support for Ukraine?"
