The Beloyarsk NPP: it was produced over 457,46 million KWh of electricity in March

In March 2015 the power unit №3 with the BN-600 reactor at the Beloyarsk NPP generated more than 457,46 million kilowatt-hours of electricity.

The capacity factor of the power unit for the month was 102.48%.

There were no deviations from normal operation of power. Radiation situation in the vicinity of the nuclear power plant stays at the natural values .

Preparatory works for power start-up are being done at the power unit №4 (BN-800).

The Beloyarsk nuclear power plant was entered into work in April, 1964. It is the first nuclear power plant in big nuclear power system 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 with reactors on thermal neutrons AMB-100 and AMB-200 were stopped in connection with resource development. There is the unique power unit in the world with the reactor on fast neutrons of an industrial power level BN-600 in work. In the stage of construction there is a power unit with the reactor on fast neutrons 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.
