Replacement plant construction requires the adjustment of power delivery scheme of Kursk NPP. Power delivery scheme is a set of distribution panels and lines providing electric energy transmission from nuclear plant to Unified Energy System of Russia. New power delivery scheme is planned to be ready before the start of operation of the 1st and 2nd replacement plant power units and by the moment of decommissioning of the 1st and 2nd power units of operating Kursk NPP, correspondingly. This was discussed in the course of working meeting that took place at Kursk NPP.
ТThe plantХs power delivery scheme must be optimalУ, the Head of NPP Technological Preparation Management at Wholesale market for electricity and power of Roseneroatom Concern Lubov Andreeva explained. ТAt this very moment we clarify whether we will need the additional network construction. It is possible that weХll decide to implement additional internal electric network and change the Emergency Control Automatics protocol. In any case it is necessary for the scheme to provide maximum power delivery with the account of new power units and operating NPPХs 1st and 2nd power units decommissioning.У
Representatives of Kursk NPP, Rosenergoatom Concern central office subdivisions, Rosenergoatom Concern branch office for capital projects execution, main contractor Р Atomstroyexport engineering company, and new scheme developer Р Energospetstrans-proekt LLC took part in the meeting. The specialists considered several alternatives of power delivery scheme, visited viewing platform of Kursk NPP-2 where they could make sure of practicability of some suggestions on-site.
ТOur advantage is that new NPP site is situated near the operating plantУ, the Deputy Chief Engineer for electrical plant equipment of Kursk NPP Eduard Arbaev noted. ТIf we began the construction from the ground up, we would have to build a significant amount of power lines. And as geography of power unit placement is combined, we can use both existing distribution panels and operating power lines. Therefore, our main task is to use already existing operating systems to the full, modernize them if necessary and build additional power lines if required.У
ТNetwork construction is quite expensiveУ, Lubov Andreeva continued. ТItХs dozens of billions of rubles weХre speaking. If we can provide the increased power delivery of the plant (as the new units will be of bigger capacity in comparison with the operating ones) without the construction of new power lines, only by means of internal additional construction and additional decisions on Emergency Control Automatics, and also provide the plantХs operation resistance herewith, this will be a success. Our decisions must be well-considered and optimal. Such work was executed at Novovoronezh NPP as well. But each plant requires individual approach and new decisions.У
Specialists are going to finalize their choice of the power delivery scheme project later when all the concerns and suggestions delivered through the meeting, as well as the concerns of system operator of Unified Energy System of Russia and Federal Grid Company will be taken into account.
The up-to-date information on the nuclear environment close to the Russian NOOs and other nuclear objects is available at www.russianatom.ru
At the moment, the Kursk NPPХs 1st, 2nd, and 4th power blocks operate at the capabilities set by the dispatch schedule.
The radiation background at the Kursk NPP and the area around it is within the normal power blocksХ operational limits and does not exceed the natural background.

The Kursk NPP, as part of the "Rosenergoatom Concern", is included into the electricity division of the State Corporation "Rosatom". The station is located 40 km south-west of the city Kursk on the left bank of Seym. The NPP has four operating units with RBMK RBMK-1000 reactors with total capacity of 4 million KW of electricity. Power units were connected to the unified energy system of the country in 1976, 1979, 1983 and 1985. All existing power units had technical modernization in 1994-2009. The Kursk NPP is the largest power generating source in the Central Russian Chernozem.
