The first 10 engineers of TAEK received certificates of Completion of specialized training. They are specialists of the Turkish regulatory body safe use of nuclear energy.

During the week in addition to lectures on general and special courses «NPP site» they studied: supervision of construction, fire safety, radiation protection, waste management, planning for emergencies. Classes on «reactor system» and «mechanical system» were held at the construction site.

«I am very excited about the opportunity to visit the newly built Novovoronezh NPP, which is the reference for the construction on site of the «Akkuyu» in Turkish Republic», - said Arif Kara, engineer of the Turkish Atomic Energy Agency. - In Novovoronezh only highly trained specialists works, and there is a good educational base for training.

Each of five reactors of station is head – 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, No. No. 3, 4 power units with VVER-440 reactors, the power unit No. 5 with the VVER-1000 reactor. The first power unit was launched in 1964, the second – in the 1969, third – in the 1971, fourth – the 1972, fifth – 1979.  There are three power units (power units (No No 1, 2 we're stopped in 1984 and 1990 years respectively) on work at the moment.
