The Beloyarsk NPP: Zarechny doctors training the activities of nuclear power plantson webinar

Doctors from urban district Zarechnyi (Sverdlovsk region) were training on the two-day seminar via videoconference (webinar), which was organized by the JSC "Concern Rosenergoatom" and non-governmental Ecological Fund of V.I. Vernadsky.

The objectives of the webinar were to inform physicians about the activities of nuclear power plants, aimed at protecting the environment, new approaches to treatment and rehabilitation, the use of ionizing radiation in medicine.

The webinar was attended by representatives of health facilities located in Zarechny: Inter-regional control department ?32 of the Federal Medical-Biological Agency, MSCh-32, the Center for Hygiene and Epidemiology.

The first day of the webinar doctors were conducted at the site of the new power unit ?4 (BN-800) of the Beloyarsk NPP in the conference room, equipped with video conferencing equipment. Presentations were made by leading experts of the Concern "Rosenergoatom", St. Petersburg State Institute of Technology, the Kurchatov Institute, the Institute of Human Ecology and Environmental Hygiene them. by A.N. Sysina from the Ministry of Health, the Department of "Human Ecology" Environmental Department of the Russian People's Friendship University.

In the evening, participants attended a webinar, a full-time associate professor from the Ural Federal University Oleg Tashlykova lecture «Environmental Foresight of Nuclear Energy in XXI century».

On the second day, doctors visited with a guided tour the power unit ? 3 (BN-600), and during the "round table" received from the Beloyarsk NPP experts information on structurally-technological features of fast reactors, aspects of environmental and radiation safety of the nuclear power plant.

In the future, these webinars are planned to be continued.

The Beloyarsk nuclear power plant was 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.

Current information about a radiation situation near the nuclear power plant in Russia and other objects of the nuclear industry is provided on a site www.russianatom.ru.
