On October 29, 2014 launching operations were started at the power unit ?3 with the reactor BN-600 of the Beloyarsk, its work has been suspended in connection with the planned activities since October 16: refueling, inspection and maintenance of equipment.

In the first stage the power unit ?3 (BN-600) will be included in the grid by two turbogenerators of three existing and 30 October will be released at the power level of about 67% of the nominal (400 MW). Further, upon completion of scheduled maintenance work on the remaining turbogenerators, it will also be included in the work, and the power unit will reach 100% of the nominal level.

Partial replacement of the fuel in the reactor BN-600 under the existing regulations is made twice a year, in spring and autumn. For these events are timed operation inspection, maintenance and scheduled preventive maintenance of power equipment.

The Beloyarsk nuclear power plant is entered into work in April, 1964. It is the first nuclear power plant in big nuclear power of the country, and unique with reactors of different types on one platform. The first power units of the Beloyarsk nuclear power plant with reactors on thermal neutrons of AMB-100 and AMB-200 are stopped in connection with resource development. In operation there is the unique power unit in the world with the reactor on fast neutrons of an industrial power level of BN-600. In the stage of construction there is a power unit with the reactor on fast neutrons of BN-800. Power units on fast neutrons are urged to expand significantly fuel base of nuclear power and to minimize radioactive waste at the expense of the organization of the closed nuclear and fuel cycle.
