The Beloyarsk NPP employees have been awarded for commissioning the BN-800 power block
On November 2, 2016, the employees of the Beloyarsk NPP who have participated in commissioning the innovative BN-800* power block were awarded.
Several people have received the “For merit to the nuclear power industry” badges of merit, including: Ivan Sidorov, the Beloyarsk NPP director; Yury Noskov, the chief inspector; Valeriy Shamanskiy, the deputy chief engineer responsible for safety and reliability; Tatyana Zhezheria, the head of the capital construction technical overview department; Yury Kushim, the head of the electric workshop; Sergey Surin, the deputy head of the electric workshop. Five more people were awarded the Rosatom’s Certificates of Merit.
Alexey Likhatchov, the CEO of the Rosatom State Corporation, held the award ceremony during his working trip to the NPP.
“Launching the BN-800 is a key milestone in both the Russian nuclear power market and the whole world. Russia is undoubtedly an absolute leader in fast reactors who has actually implemented the top-notch closed fuel cycle technologies. It was possible thanks to the close cooperation in a team of scientists, technologists, engineers, and the NPP workers”, the head of Rosatom noted.
The joint visit of Rosatom, the Rosenergoatom Concern, and Rostechnadzor delegation was dedicated to commissioning the 4th power block operating a BN-800 fast neutron reactor.
Speaking of it, this week the influential international POWER magazine has awarded the Beloyarsk NPP’s BN-800 power block in the Top Plants nomination.
* A BN-800 reactor (a fast neutron reactor with the electric capacity of 880 megawatts) is an experimental production reactor running on fast neutrons with sodium as a liquid metal coolant.
The Beloyarsk NPP was launched operational in April 1964. The first power blocks operating the AMB-100 and AMB-200 reactors on thermal neutrons were shut down because of their life span expiration. The Beloyarsk NPP operates BN-600 fast neutron reactors along with the BN-800 power block commissioned in October 2016.
