The Beloyarsk NPP: BN-600 reopened after spring prevention

On Saturday, May 31, 2014, the power unit №3with reactor BN-600 of the Beloyarsk NPP resumed work after the completion of planned activities: refueling, maintenance and repair of equipment.

Planned activities were conducted on the power since April 19, 2014

Such activities at the power unit №3 with the reactor BN-600 is carried out twice a year in spring and autumn.

At Monday, June 2, 2014 the power unit №3 with reactor BN-600 came to the nominal power level.

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

Current information about a radiation situation near the nuclear power plant in Russia and other objects of the nuclear industry is provided on a site www.russianatom.ru.
