The Kursk NPP: 6,5 billion rubles will have been disbursed for the Kursk NPP-2 substitution station construction by the end of 2016
That’s the way the Rosenergoatom Concern CEO, Andrey Petrov, has formulated the agenda for the construction workers during his working trip to the Kursk NPP.
Mr. Petrov and the president of NIAEP (the Kursk NPP-2 general designer and the general contractor), Valeriy Limarenko, have evaluated the construction progress at the Kursk NPP-2 site, which is one of the priority facilities for Rosenergoatom.
During the tour around the construction site and the ditch examination, they gave directions on how to better organize the process and stressed that the common excavation can be extended above the scope for 2016 (1281 thousand cubic meters for soil excavation and 690 thousand cubic meters for soil replacement with sand and sand and gravel mix). The “first concrete” for the 1st power block is planned for May 2018.
“The Kursk NPP-2 is deemed to be a referential facility, with the brand new VVER-TOI project being implemented here. This site is the main Concern’s point in Central Russia”, said Andrey Petrov. “Our plan is to disburse around 6.5 billion rubles of capital investments for 2016, 3.5 billion rubles out of those being allocated for construction and installation”.
Afterwards, during the meeting with the NPP construction administration and the local and regional authorities, the parties have defined the issues on the agenda and the way to fix them.
“A very important component of the meeting was to discuss the new motorways construction and the maintenance of the existing ones that are used to transport gravel to the construction site. Alexander Zubarev, the first deputy of the Kursk region governor, was involved in the negotiations”, Viacheslav Fedyuking, the deputy CEO and the Kursk NPP affiliate office director, said. “Ourselves, the Kursk region government, and the construction team have elaborated a common plan”.
During the tour, the Rosenergoatom Concern CEO has also evaluated the alert level of another major Kursk NPP investment project – the radioactive waste handling complex. The latter will contain a liquid radioactive waste recycling complex, a recycled radioactive waste storage, and a solid radioactive waste recycling complex. The total cost of the project is 23 billion rubles, 6 of them already being disbursed. The radioactive waste handling complex is scheduled for launch in 2018.

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.
