At the operating unit, the future atomic engineers familiarized with the operation of the equipment and production methods, visited the turbine island, reactor compartment and main control unit.

ТThe introduction training at the nuclear power facility is an essential element of vocational preparation of students of our specialized department,У stressed Senior Professor of the university, Alexander Yeliseyev. ТIn the future they will have to design and construct nuclear power plants, which is impossible without having a clear-cut idea about the plant.У

At the end of the technical tour, the students noted that Smolensk nuclear power plant was a modern enterprise, where real professionals worked.
