According to the source, $5 million will be available before year's end and the remaining $2 million will come through at the beginning of 2006.
Ukraine's cabinet addressed the assembly on the urgent necessity to solve issues in completing the construction of the liquid nuclear waste treatment plant and the storage of radioactive wastes from the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, the site where the worst nuclear disaster in world history occurred in 1986.
The construction of the new plant and spent fuel storage facilities had been implemented by foreign contractors, but the process stalled due to specific technical reasons and a lack of funding.
"Ukraine and the world community have the main goal of finishing the construction of these facilities immediately. Ukraine is ready to make additional contributions to these projects," Ukrainian Minister of Emergencies David Zhvaniya said at the London conference.
The Ukrainian party proposed technical decisions that would help resume these two projects.
Kiev insists that the term for the projects' completion not exceed 36 months.
