On April 7, 2015 the power unit №3 with the reactor BN-600 of the Beloyarsk NPP suspends work in connection with the planned measures: refueling, maintenance and repair of equipment. In particular, it is necessary to perform overhaul repair of one of the turbogenerators.

The planned work will continue until the end of May.

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

The gradual reduction in power at the unit №3 before disconnecting it from the grid will begin in the evening on April 6 2015.

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.
