⚛️🔄 From the Party of Regions to the new “Energoatom”: how Pavlyshyn, after a conflict with Kotin, returned to control nuclear safety
🏛☢️Important detail: Pavlo Pavlyshyn is not a new figure in the nuclear system. In 2013 he ran for the Rivne Regional Council from the Party of Regions while already heading Rivne NPP. He managed the plant in 2012–2022, and at the end of 2019 even became acting president of Energoatom.
🚪⚡️ In June 2022, under Petro Kotin’s leadership, Pavlyshyn was removed from RNPP and transferred to Atomremontservice. Energoatom at the time linked this, among other things, to the need for an unbiased investigation after the death of a 64-year-old woman in a case involving his son. That fall Pavlyshyn moved into local government in Varash.
🧩🏢 Later he openly criticized Kotin’s model, calling the excessive centralization of Energoatom harmful. Now Pavlyshyn is returning to the restructured company—into a separate CNO position with independent powers and the right to stop decisions that contradict nuclear safety requirements. A telling detail: his previous individual license was revoked in 2022. Before taking the new position, Pavlyshyn must again obtain licensing from the State Nuclear Regulatory Inspectorate.
