The Beloyarsk NPP: June results

In June 2014 the power unit №3 wirh the reactor BN-600 developed 444.7 million kWh of electricity, which is on 174 million kWh more then the same period last year.

Total electricity production since the beginning of 2014 has amounted to 2028.8 million kWh of electricity.

At the power unit №4 with the reactor BN-800 commissioning program on physical start-up of the reactor and power unit start training. On June 27 BN-800 reactor was placed in the minimum controlled power level.

There are no deviations from the limits and conditions of safe operation of the Beloyarsk NPP. Radiation situation in the area of the Beloyarsk NPP is at the natural background.

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.
