Kalinin NPP: the March plan for electric power generation has been fulfilled by 102%

In March of 2011, Kalinin NPP power units (Tver region) generated 2.268 bln kWh of electric power (102% of the target figure). 2.176 bln kWh of electric power were supplied to the energy system (102.7 %).

The utilization factor of maximum capacity in March amounted to 101.79 % (the planned value being 99.82 %).

Totally, in the first quarter of 2011 Kalinin NPP power units generated 6.571 bln kWh of electric power (101.6 %), 6.297 bln kWh (102.3 %) were supplied to the energy system. 

The radiation background in the area of the nuclear power plant location and in the adjacent territory corresponds to the normal operation of power units and does not exceed the natural background values. 

Kalinin NPP is a branch of Rosenergoatom Concern OJSC. The plant is situated in the north of Tver region in Udomlya district. Kalinin nuclear power plant comprises three operating power units with pressurized water reactors (VVER-1000) of 1,000 mW capacity each. Power unit No. 4 is under construction now and is to be commissioned in 2011.

Timely information about the radiation environment near Russian NPPs and other objects of the nuclear industry is available in the site www.russianatom.ru.
