(Reuters) - The Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in southern Ukraine which Russia captured last year will stop using U.S.-produced nuclear fuel as quickly as possible, the Interfax news agency quoted a Russian official as saying on Thursday.

The biggest nuclear power plant in Europe, mostly built in the Soviet times, originally used Russian nuclear fuel, but Ukraine gradually switched to supplies from Westinghouse after its first conflict with Russia in 2014.
