The Novovoronezh NPP generated 837.3 million KWh of electricity with the planned target 645.0 mln KWh in July 2015. The plan was made on 129.81% in July.

Capacity factor (load factor) has been 61.36% with the plan of 47.27% since the beginning of the month.

The Novovoronezh nuclear power plant has produced 7913,4 million KWh of electric energy since the beginning of 2015.

The power unit №5 of the Novovoronezh NPP is in planned preventive overhaul (PPR) and stopped for refueling. The power units №№3 and 4 operate in a given mode.

Average values of radiation background correspond to level of natural background values in the Central European Part of Russia in settlements of a 30-km zone round the Novovoronezhskaya nuclear power plant.

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

The Novovoronezhskaya nuclear power plant is a branch of the JSC "Concern Rosenergoatom". The station is located on the bank of the Don River in 42 km to the south of Voronezh. It is the Russia's first nuclear power plant with VVER reactors (water-to-water power reactors of case type with regular water under pressure). Each of five reactors of the station can be a main one – a prototype of serial power reactors: the power unit No. 1 with the VVER-210 reactor, the power unit No. 2 with the VVER-365 reactor, the No. 3, 4 power units with the VVER-440 reactors, the power unit No. 5 with the VVER-1000 reactor. The first power unit was launched in 1964, the second – in 1969, third – in 1971, fourth – 1972, fifth – 1979.

There are three power units (power units No.1, 2 were stopped in 1984 and 1990 respectively) in work at the moment.

The JSC "Concern Rosenergoatom" as the owner-developer has been constructing two power units of new generation at the Novovoronezh NPP beyond the project "NPP-2006" since June 2007. The construction is funded by the asset contribution and equity of the "Rosenergoatom". The new blocks will be operated by the NV NPP reactor units VVER-1200.

Project VVER-1200 complies with all local and international safety requirements. Its main feature is improvement of security system, which provides a significant advantage of project on level of safety performance.
