1) Background
As economical situation of Ukrainian NPPs was very difficult in the early 80’s, there was an urgent need for spare parts in order to allow operation of Ukrainian NPPs.
Experts from three European utilities have elaborated, in the framework of OSA (On-Site Assistance) to Rovno, South Ukraine and Zaporozhye NPPs, three lists of urgently needed spare parts, aggregates and tools.

2) Objectives
Procurement of spare parts is performed by Fichtner as contractor (on behalf of European Commission). Tasks to be performed are:

Preparation of call for tenders for each type of spare parts,
Evaluation of bids,
Management of contracting negotiations,
Clarification of export, import and customs duty regulations,
Preparation and signature of supply contracts on behalf of European Commission,
Management of shipment of spare parts to their destination,
Organisation of financial arrangement and control of the project.

3) Project results–achievements

4) Comments
Scope of spare parts to be delivered is not mentioned in available documentation for most lots.
Sempell and Varta equipment has been excluded from the TACIS project U1.02/T92 and delivered under separate agreement.
