The Novovoronezh NPP fulfilled the plan on 102.44% in June 2015

The Novovoronezh nuclear power plant produced 1,227 million KWh of electricity with the planned target of 1198 million KWh in June 2015. The plan is made on 102.44% in June.

The capacity factor (load factor) has been 92.93% since the beginning of the month, the plan was 90.72%.

The Novovoronezh nuclear power plant has produced 7290,47  million KWh of electric energy since the beginning of 2015.

Power units ?? 3, 4 and 5 of the Novovoronezh NPP are operating in a given mode.

Average values of radiation background correspond to level of natural background values in the Central European Part of Russia in settlements of a 30-km zone round the Novovoronezhskaya nuclear power plant.

Updated nformation about radiation situation near the nuclear power plants in Russia and other objects of the nuclear industry is provided on a site www.russianatom.ru.

The Novovoronezhskaya nuclear power plant is a branch of the JSC "Concern Rosenergoatom". The station is located on the bank of the Don River in 42 km to the south of Voronezh. It is the Russia's first nuclear power plant with VVER reactors (water-to-water power reactors of case type with regular water under pressure). Each of five reactors of the station can be a main one – a prototype of serial power reactors: the power unit No. 1 with the VVER-210 reactor, the power unit No. 2 with the VVER-365 reactor, the No. 3, 4 power units with the VVER-440 reactors, the power unit No. 5 with the VVER-1000 reactor. The first power unit was launched in 1964, the second – in 1969, third – in 1971, fourth – 1972, fifth – 1979.

There are three power units (power units No.1, 2 were stopped in 1984 and 1990 respectively) in work at the moment.

The JSC "Concern Rosenergoatom" as the owner-developer has been constructing two power units of new generation at the Novovoronezh NPP beyond the project "NPP-2006" since June 2007. The construction is funded by the asset contribution and equity of the "Rosenergoatom". The reactors VVER-1200 will be operating at the NV NPP new power units.

Project VVER-1200 complies with all local and international safety requirements. Its main feature is to improve security system, which provides a significant advantage of the project on the level of safety performance.
