Beloyarsk NPP: children of nuclear warmongers participate in the “Nuclear Kids”

On April, 4th, 2011 in Chelyabinsk there was held a regional qualifying round among children of workers of the nuclear industry enterprises for participation in the International children's creative camp “NucKids-2011”. 


Taking part in the casting were the delegations from the Beloyarsk NPP (13 children) and from the nuclear enterprises of the Chelyabinsk Region: “Instrument-making factory” (Trehgorny city), Federal Nuclear Centre (Snezhinsk city), PE “Mayak” (Ozersk city). Participants aging from 11 to 15 sang, danced, played musical instruments and recited poetry.


State Corporation “Rosatom” in the organizer of the International children's creative camp “NucKids-2011”. Last year children of nuclear warmongers from Russia, Ukraine, India, Iran and Bulgaria took part in this project. Musical performance turned out to be a result of their joint creative work.


Selection of participants of the project was carried out by two rounds: a preliminary casting in the regions where the nuclear enterprises are located, and the final qualifying round in Moscow. Besides creative achievements, the competitor for voucher to the camp “NucKids-2011” should know English, as there will be children of nuclear warmongers from both Russia and  from Bulgaria, Vietnam, India, Turkey and Ukraine.


The final session of the selection board will specify who passed the second round of the casting in Moscow.


Beloyarsk NPP was put into operation in April of 1964. This is the first NPP in the nuclear power industry of the country and the only one with reactors of different types at the same site. The first power units of Beloyarsk NPP with the AMB-100 and AMB-200 thermal reactors were shut down because they had exhausted their potential. Beloyarsk NPP operates the unique power unit with a fast neutron reactor of industrial power level - BN-600. The BN-800 power unit with a fast neutron reactor is being constructed. The fast neutron power units serve for substantial extension of the fuel base of the nuclear power industry and minimization of radioactive waste due to the closed nuclear fuel cycle.

Timely information about the radiation environment near Russian NPPs and other objects of the nuclear industry is available in the site www.russianatom.ru.
