Reactor BN-600 unit of the Beloyarsk NPP power unit №3 resumed work after the completion of planned activities: refueling, maintenance and preventive overhaul of equipment on Wednesday, October 14, 2015. The planned preventive repair works have been carried out at the power unit since October, 1
.
Scheduled refueling, maintenance and repair of the equipment at the power unit №3 reactor BN-600 are carried out twice a year: in spring and in autumn.
On the night of Friday, 16 October 2015. the power unit №3 reactor BN-600 is going to seat working on the nominal power level.

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