The Beloyarsk NPP generated over 457.5 million KWh in July

The power unit №3 with reactor BN-600 of the Beloyarsk NPP generated more than 457.5 million Kilowatt hours of electricity in July 2015.

The capacity factor of power unit was 102.49 percent during the month.

The power unit №3, as of situation of implementation of its annual plan of development to date, performs a routine task on the level 111.3 percent.

Power unit №4 (BN-800) continues to held preparatory works for energy start-up phase.

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.

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