Turbogenerator ?13 (TG-13) of the Novovoronezh NPP power unit ?5 was stopped on May 25, 2015 at 22 hours 32 minutes in accordance with the application filed in the prescribed manner for solving the problem of the stator winding. The power unit ?5 worked at 50% capacity.

The authorization for inclusion the turbogenerator ?13 into the network after completion of repairs was received on June 5. The TG 13 was included into the network on June 6 at 3 hours 22 minutes. The power unit started working at 100% capacity at 4 hours 30 minutes on June 7.

Power units ?3, ?4 and ?5 are operating normally. There are no violations of limits and conditions of safe operation of the Novovoronezh NPP.
Construction and installation works on power units ?6 and ?7 are being carried out in a planned manner.

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.

The Novovoronezh 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.

Innovative power units ?6 and ?7 with capacity 1200 MW has been constructed at the Novoronezh NPP site since 2007.
